Access to Civil Justice

The saying “if you want peace, work for justice” rings true in regard to Shalom for people on the margins. People struggling with poverty in the US have little access to representation in civil matters. This workshop explores God’s call to “defend the cause of the poor and needy,” discusses the history of Christian Legal Aid, identifies common legal issues people in our neighborhoods face, and shares successful models from around the country.
