Mission: The clark county law foundation (foundation) was created to serve as a central point where money could be raised to support law-related programs that benefit the entire community. The foundation funds community services projects that promote the administration of justice in clark county and southern nevada.

The outreach services include the trial by peers program (tbp), the community services committee, and the liberty bell committee. Tbp is a juvenile diversion program of the foundation in cooperation with the department of juvenile justice services, las vegas metropolitan police department and the clark county school district police department.

The tbp program has licensed state of nevada bar attorneys that volunteer and mentor program participants.
