Weeun Wang to Lead Farmworker Justice Litigation Team

Newsletters - Spring 2010 Newsletter

We are pleased to announce that Weeun Wang, a retired attorney with the U.S. Department of Justice and long-time supporter of our organization, will be joining our team this summer as a Senior Attorney/Litigation Coordinator. Weeun, an immigrant who came to the United States with his parents, who were from China, has done pro bono work for Farmworker Justice and his son, Nick, has worked for us as a high school volunteer.

Weeun is a graduate of the University of Delaware and the Delaware School of Law at Widener University and is eager to delve into farmworker law.  For almost 30 years, Weeun worked for the U.S. Department of Justice as an antitrust attorney, often working on complex cases. As he retires from government, Weeun decided that he would like to work in the public interest field, specifically for farmworkers.

While at Farmworker Justice,Weeun will focus on leading litigation to address systemic violations of farmworkers’ rights, and, as needed, on cases against the government for failure to follow the law. He will collaborate with other organizations around the country, arrange for pro bono legal assistance from law firms, and coordinate skills training programs. We look forward to working with Weeun and welcome him to the farmworker advocacy community.
