Randi Burnett

Student Coordinator & Attorney at Law

rburnett@sazlegalaid.org   

    Randi is a Southern Arizona native, having spent most her life in the tiny

    town of Wellton, Arizona, about 30 miles east of Yuma, before moving to

    Tucson to attend law school at the U of A.  As the VLP’s Student Coordinator

    and Staff Attorney, Randi manages the student based clinics which gives her

    the opportunity to get to know the over 100 students that volunteer with the

    VLP each year.  She feels that this is one of the highlights of her job, as she

    gets to watch the students grow and develop over the semester and gain

    confidence in their ability to help people.
