In September of 2019, the Colorado legal community lost a member whose impact simply cannot be measured. Alli Gerkman, who left us too soon at the age of 41, will be remembered for a legacy we would all be proud to accomplish if given twice the time. Alli led the Institute for the Advancement of the American Legal System (IAALS) at the University of Denver, which focused on ensuring that the judicial system mandated fair (and transparent) access to courts for all. Alli also founded Foundations for Practice, which trained law students on the necessary skills to secure full-time employment following graduation, regardless of previous experience or socioeconomic background. She may no longer be with us, but Alli will always be remembered as, in the words of her colleagues, “wicked smart”, “a physical force”, and a “magnet”.
