FACT:
80% of the legal needs of those in the United States near or below the federal poverty level go unmet.
From 2024–2025, Legal Link led a four-state evaluation of its Legal First Aid training in partnership with:
And, various community partners in California.
The five-hour training was designed to help nonlawyer navigators recognize justiciable civil legal issues, understand their role, and connect clients to appropriate legal resources.

These results suggest that Legal First Aid is a powerful and scalable strategy for strengthening community-based responses to civil legal problems and improving outcomes for clients most affected by poverty and injustice.
We would also like to thank a generous grant received from the Georgetown Center for Law which not only allowed us to participate in Legal Link but enabled us to launch our Justice Navigator program in 2025. In addition, we would also like to thank Tanina Rostain, Agnes Williams Sesquicentennial Professor of Justice Innovation at Georgetown Law, for her mentorship and ongoing guidance in support of our Justice Navigator program.
