A Tradition of Investing in Equal Access to Justice
The Equal Justice Campaign (EJC) was established in 1986 by Pittsburgh lawyers with the mission of ensuring that equal access to justice becomes a reality for all low-income families in the Pittsburgh region. All monies generated by the Equal Justice Campaign support the operations of NLSA.
The Equal Justice Campaign accomplishes its mission by:
- Operating an annual fundraising with the help of 50 volunteer lawyers;
- Educating lawyers and the community about the importance of access to justice and how legal services are delivered;
- Working with lawyer volunteers and local bar organizations to increase funding for legal aid;
- Assisting NLSA in increasing revenue through foundation support; and
- Since the inception of the Equal Justice Campaign, the Pittsburgh legal community has helped the Campaign raise more than $2 million for legal aid. Despite the tremendous efforts of our volunteers and contributors, we still meet less than 20% of the legitimate legal needs of the region’s poor. With your help, we can do better than 20%.
