LRLC Joins California Legal Aid Community in Defending the Rule of Law

Learning Rights Law Center and dozens of legal aid organizations signed the Legal Aid Association of California's statement in support of the rule of law and the legal aid profession this week.

The statement, which you can read in full here, states "Our legal system, which enshrines the right to counsel for many critical legal needs, is designed with the assumption that people have a lawyer to help them. People without attorneys must navigate difficult and complicated systems on their own. Our community works to level the playing field and to help people have equal access to justice. The recent executive orders that attack our profession are attacking access to justice for everyone."
