    • Abstract:
      The article states that San Joaquin Valley's central location may be a draw for some businesses, but it is a drawback for those in the law profession. The Central Valley and the San Joaquin Valley, in California, are one of the most underserved areas of the state, said Sally Perring, associate dean for academic affairs at the San Joaquin College of Law in Clovis. A study on attorneys in California showed that the Valley is only one of two regions in the state that lacks lawyers to represent the population in a variety of legal matters. According to Perring, in a region with high poverty levels and low-income averages, that leaves out a significant amount of the Central Valley's population.
