Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice (LACLJ) has served the low-income residents of Los Angeles
for over 40 years.
LACLJ fights for the rights of families whose lives are being impacted by difficult legal and crisis situations. LACLJ’s holistic legal services model – offering personalized legal representation, education, and supportive services – focuses on ensuring safety and success beyond the courtroom. Building on our experience with these individual families, we advocate for widespread change to improve the lives of low-income families in California.

Our Programs
We envision a strong community that is safe, stable and free from injustice
Over the past five years, LACLJ has embraced opportunities to broaden our reach within low-income communities. Moving away from a service model that focused on narrowly-defined geographies and areas of law, LACLJ has implemented a program-based service model that is flexible, holistic and defined by the needs of our target populations. LACLJ programs support a wide-range of legal and non-legal services that are more responsive to communities facing the greatest barriers to accessing justice.
The LACLJ strategic plan outlines priorities for 2014-2016 that focus on developing a solid infrastructure, supporting LACLJ to provide the highest-caliber services to the most vulnerable populations.
