SAN FRANCISCO — Law schools get a fair amount of flack for not minting J.D.s with practical experience. Matthew Bruno, a second-year at Hastings College of the Law, hopes he won’t have much of a problem with that.
Through one of the school’s legal clinics, Bruno and seven other students are involved in behind-the-scenes policy and legal work for a number of neighborhood groups in one of San Francisco’s biggest ongoing land use development proposals. Their client, The Good Neighbor Coalition, is worried about how a new 555-bed hospital planned by a local nonprofit near the Tenderloin would impact the neighborhood. The hospital is part of California Pacific Medical Center’s $2.5 billion rebuilding plan for the city, and has the potential to affect everything from the number of affordable housing units near the Tenderloin to health care access for the city’s poor residents.
