Sue Wasserkrug joined SeniorLAW Center’s staff in January 2006 as Supervising Attorney of the Pennsylvania SeniorLAW HelpLine. Launched in December 2003, the HelpLine is a toll-free statewide service providing legal information, advice and referrals to Pennsylvania elders. Sue began her public interest career in Philadelphia as the Public Interest Coordinator of the Philadelphia Bar Association, where she managed and facilitated the work of the many local legal services organizations. As a result, she has extensive knowledge of both the legal issues that face Philadelphia’s low-income population and the many efforts underway to address those issues. Prior to coming to SeniorLAW Center, Sue worked as Director of Policy at the People’s Emergency Center, a social services agency for homeless women, children and teens in West Philadelphia. Before that, she was a staff attorney at the Homeless Advocacy Project, where she coordinated a project providing legal services to homeless women and children in Philadelphia. Sue graduated from the University of Iowa College of Law in 1998. During law school, she interned with the Legal Services Corporation of Iowa and the Legal Department of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe in South Dakota, and she founded a volunteer immigration project in which law students provided representation for asylum seekers in Harlingen, Texas. Sue received her B.A. from Oberlin College and has two masters degrees, one in anthropology and one in journalism, both from the University of Arizona.
