Attorneys urged to support Access to Justice Campaign

The State Bar of Michigan encourages attorneys to serve those in need by supporting the Access to Justice Campaign with a 2021 year-end gift.

By supporting the ATJ Campaign, attorneys can show their commitment to furthering access and fairness for all in the justice system, and to addressing racial inequities that are prevalent in low-income families.

The ATJ Campaign is a collaborative centralized campaign, administered by the Michigan State Bar Foundation in partnership with the State Bar of Michigan, to increase resources for these regional and statewide programs.

To make a charitable contribution or for additional information about the ATJ Campaign, visit atjfund.org. One hundred percent of donations will be distributed to support civil legal aid to low-income individuals.
