Legal Aid Websites

In 2024, 40% of income eligible Massachusetts residents were turned away from legal services.

Forty percent of income-eligible Massachusetts residents are turned away from legal services each year due to insufficient civil legal aid resources.  Many other people fall through the cracks because they are above income for legal aid programs but too poor to afford a lawyer. The Massachusetts Legal Aid Websites Project uses technology to help close this justice gap.
