The Access to Justice Campaign has released its annual report summing up the centralized campaign’s efforts to increase legal community donations for 15 legal aid programs in the 2021 calendar year.
This year’s report includes several examples of how legal aid helped low-income families in Michigan, and how receiving access to justice changed lives. In addition, the report applauds members of the legal community who donate to the campaign, highlights the partnerships between legal aid programs and pro bono attorneys, and demonstrates the importance of having civil legal aid to help people effectuate their rights under Michigan’s Clean Slate legislation, which expands the eligibility of expunging previous convictions.
The release of the annual report coincides with the 25th anniversary of the Access to Justice Campaign in Michigan. The campaign continues its effort to provide resources for civil legal aid, and ultimately increase services that protect and preserve the health, homes, and livelihoods of low-income families.
