Justice Education

Increasing access to information on justice issues by publishing plain language guides, hosting educational events, and sharing resources with the community.

Expanding Access to Justice System Information

Our goal is to improve the well-being of vulnerable populations by supporting them to assert their rights and access support. To do that we publish plain language guides and resources to help people navigate the often complicated and confusing legal systems in D.C. We also host educational events and programs to inform the public on important justice issues that affect them.
