Ensuring a Fair & Equitable Justice System
It’s no secret the scales of justice tip in favor of the wealthy and powerful.
While defendants in the criminal justice system have guaranteed representation, those involved in civil cases rarely have such a right to legal counsel. People who find themselves in court are strapped with high fees or – worse – the consequences of self-representation.
Some of the most pressing civil cases never come to trial because parties don’t know their rights and cannot access representation. They may not know how to fight back against a harassing landlord, an abusive employer, or a powerful corporation. But you do!
Be a Hero to Those in Need
The domestic-violence survivor battling for custody of their children
The disabled veteran who was denied benefits and is facing homelessness
The family seeking debt consolidation and alternatives to foreclosure

This is your opportunity to help. By finding your next position through Civil Legal Aid Jobs, you become an agent of equality and change.
