Every year, millions of Americans contend with legal problems during critical—and often crisis—moments in their lives. People have been arrested. Parents face removal of their children. Families confront eviction, bankruptcy, and crippling debt. Often, people face strong opponents and powerful institutions alone. For many, racial injustice, cost, complexity, fear, unequal power, and lack of knowledge place the law’s protections out of reach.
The National Center for Access to Justice (NCAJ) is a national nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that seeks to ensure that everyone—no matter their race, the language they speak, where they live, how much money they have, or whether they have a disability—has a meaningful opportunity to be heard, assert their rights, and obtain the law’s protection. Using data, research and policy analysis, NCAJ exposes how the legal system all too often fails to deliver the equal justice it promises. It then uses those findings to develop and drive policy solutions to these complex, pressing problems.
