Center for Civil Justice

We are a unique law firm where ALL of our advocacy is dedicated to protecting the needs and rights of low-income individuals and families.

CCJ is a non-profit organization that uses its expertise on laws and policies affecting low-income people in order to act as a voice for those individuals and enable them to receive assistance through social safety net programs. Through legal action, legislative and policy advocacy, educational initiatives, and collaborative strategies, CCJ achieves systemic changes that improve the lives of thousands of low-income individuals and families. We also provide legal and technical assistance to advocates and organizations statewide on a variety of policy issues, especially those related to housing, healthcare, food and nutrition and economic self-sufficiency. We address statewide legal and policy issues.
