About the Campaign

California Legal Aid Organizations

Ninety-five separate nonprofit organizations are funded by the Justice Gap Fund to provide or support free civil legal services to low-income Californians. Together these programs serve every county in the state, and base their legal work on locally-set priorities. They enlist volunteer attorneys, law students and social service experts to expand the resources available for the delivery of legal aid; and they leverage their effectiveness by forming broad and creative partnerships with each other, the courts, local, state and federal governments, community-based organizations, law schools, law firms and others to share resources and coordinate service delivery.

Legal aid advocates make sure that otherwise vulnerable Californians are better able to keep a roof over their heads, food on the table, and their families together. These services benefit not only the low-income clients served but society as a whole. If you need legal assistance, please visit www.LawHelpCA.org for legal aid referrals by location and legal issue.
