Have you ever seen a 21.5 pound stack of letters to veterans? Our Illinois JusticeCorps Fellow in Bloomington has. She delivered instructions and letter templates to 20 local elementary schools and received over 1000 letters in return. In addition to reaching out to these local elementary schools, all of our Illinois JusticeCorps Fellows engaged in some type of letter-writing outreach in their courthouses by setting up collection drop boxes in public and private spaces where they serve. In total, Illinois JusticeCorps collected over 2,300 letters to veterans, active duty service members, first responders, and their families to be included in care packages from non-profit Operation Gratitude. . . . . . #veterans #americorps #serveillinois #dayoftheA #lawyers #attorneys

Supporting Access to Justice and Lawyers in Need
关于我们
Over fifty years ago, a handful of visionary leaders founded the Illinois Bar Foundation. Their initial commitment was to provide aid to deserving members of the Illinois Bar who, because of age or infirmity, could no longer provide for their own care or support. Since then, the Foundation has expanded its scope to ensure meaningful access to the justice system, especially for those with limited means, and to assist lawyers who can no longer support themselves due to incapacity. With the Vision to be the statewide leader in advancing equal justice, the Foundation has established the following organizational objectives: -- Enhance the availability of legal aid to those of limited means. -- Encourage pro-bono legal work. -- Educate Illinois residents regarding their rights and responsibilities under the law. -- Extend assistance to colleagues in need of support.
