Mission

Volunteer Lawyers for Justice, Inc. ("VLJ"/ the Organization), a non-profit organization incorporated in the State of New Jersey, is a comprehensive, statewide legal services program based in Newark. VLJ's mission is to ensure access to justice for people experiencing poverty. VLJ fulfills its mission by mobilizing volunteers to work alongside staff to address critical legal needs across New Jersey, advancing racial, social, and economic justice for the most vulnerable members of our community.
