The Los Angeles Center for Law and Justice (LACLJ) is located in East Los Angeles and has served the low-income residents of Los Angeles for almost 40 years. Our mission is to secure justice for survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault and empower them to create their own futures.
LACLJ provides free legal representation, education and advocacy. Our services decrease homelessness, increase family stability and provide safe, violence-free homes for children. LACLJ believes that justice should not be determined by wealth, citizenship, language, or age. We focus on serving families in crisis and those who have the greatest barriers to accessing our judicial system. We help individuals face their adversity with the dignity that they deserve.
We are unique among legal aid programs because we prioritize client-based services, focus on providing direct legal services by our staff attorneys, not volunteers, and we are able to serve individuals regardless of legal status or age. We offer a full range of services, including advice and counsel, preparation of legal documents, and representation in court.
LACLJ’s clients live primarily in East, Northeast and Southeast Los Angeles. Poverty, high school drop-out rates, illiteracy rates, lack of health insurance, housing density, and levels of substandard housing are significantly higher in our service area than the statewide average. A large number of LACLJ’s clients are women, immigrants and monolingual Spanish speakers. Thirty percent of our clients have less than an 8th grade education, and 57% do not have a high school diploma.
