Defended Huey Newton on charge of murdering a prostitute. No bank account, no credit card, no cell phone

Vow of poverty

43rd and Taraval, six blocks from Ocean Beach. Suicide of mother. Estrangement from brothers.

In a disciplinary hearing before the State Bar of California, Serra stated, " "I took an informal vow of poverty. I vowed that I would never take profit from the practice of law, that I would not buy anything new, that I would recycle everything, that I would own no properties - no stocks or bonds, no images of prosperity. I still drive an old junk of a car. I still barely make the rent each month; I have accumulated nothing by way of savings, and I live from hand to mouth."
