| WHO WE ARE |
The legal project believes that all people, regardless of income, gender, disability, race, religion, age, sexual orientation or ethnicity should have access to legal services. This belief reflects a deep commitment to fairness and equal justice under the law. Based upon these beliefs, the mission of the Legal Project is to make the law more accessible to those in need; to increase the legal communities involvement in probono work; and to serve as a resource on legal issues and probono work. We feel a special commitment to women and others who may have difficulty in obtaining legal services.
