Mission: The legal project provides access to the protections of the law to advance the safety, stability and independence of the people we serve and strengthen our communities. We do this by advising, advocating for and representing people who have traditionally had difficulty obtaining civil legal assistance.

This belief represents a deep commitment to fairness and equal justice under the law. The mission of the legal project is to make the law more accessible to those in need, to increase the legal community's involvement in pro bono work, and to serve as a resource on legal issues. The legal project feels a special commitment to women and others who may have difficulty obtaining legal assistance.
