==History== Appleseed was founded in 1993 by members of [[Harvard Law School]]'s class of 1958 at their 35th reunion.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Cavendish |first=Betsy |date=2015-11-17 |title=What Every Harvard Law School Student Should Know About Appleseed |url=http://hlrecord.org/what-every-harvard-law-school-student-should-know-about-appleseed/ |access-date=2020-01-22 |website=[[The Harvard Law Record]] |language=en-US |archive-date=2020-02-01 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200201135907/http://hlrecord.org/what-every-harvard-law-school-student-should-know-about-appleseed/ |url-status=live }}</ref> From the outset Appleseed was framed around what was then a singular approach to [[pro bono]] law. Its strategy was to address issues that lent themselves to system-wide reform rather than the traditional model of providing legal services to individuals with legal problems. While litigation is one tool used by some of the Appleseed Centers, the organization tends to focus on achieving structural changes through market-based reforms, policy analysis and research, legislation, and rule making.
