When it's your job to help people who are on the edge, it's heartbreaking to turn people away. It is our normal to track what % of phone calls we can physically answer. For a long time in the humanitarian space we have been asking people if their community can raise funds to pay someone else for to give them legal advice or if they have jewellery to sell to fund their advice. We simply do not have the funds to help the people that need helping. And with poverty becoming what now seems like a middle class problem, it's getting worse. I've seen first hand as Chair of a CLC that we work hard to innovate and create new funding opportunities. We are constantly working with our pro bono and philanthropy partners to support us in new ways. We created a business case for a fee for service model (it didn't stack up for multiple reasons, including undermining for profit partners who support us through pro bono hours and do the work we refer to them where people do have some funds to pay). We will continue to fight hard to meet the demand for free (or minimal cost) legal support to those in need, but we do need Government to help us meet this ever growing demand. Everything is crossed for this Federal budget announcement.

Community legal centres help hundreds of thousands of people every year, but our sector is also forced to turn away hundreds of thousands of people a year who need help because we don't have enough resources to assist. Here's a message from our CEO Tim Leach about what community legal centres need in tomorrow's budget in order to keep giving people and communities the support they rely on. Watch this space tomorrow evening for an update on what is in the budget for community legal centres. #FundEqualJustice #CommunityLaw #AccessToJustice #Budget2024

We are calling for fair funding for community legal centres: 1. $35 million this year to address the workforce crisis facing community legal centres. 2. At least $270 million per year for community legal centres from 1 July 2025, committed by December 2024. 3. $95 million per year for frontline community legal centre domestic and family violence work. #SaveCommunityLegalCentres #FundFrontlineServices #CommunityLaw

Sixty-one years ago today, the U.S. Supreme Court established the right to legal counsel for anyone accused of a crime, requiring the state to provide an attorney for those who cannot afford their own. Today, the right to an attorney is understood as a cornerstone of fair and equal justice. But that right doesn't exist for people facing eviction or other non-criminal legal issues. While nearly all Los Angeles landlords have legal representation in an eviction case, the vast majority of tenants are forced to navigate the process alone. Yet without a legal advocate by their side, tenants are almost certain to lose their cases—and their homes. Does that sound like justice to you? For #PublicDefenseDay, revisit this piece in the Daily Journal by Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles Executive Director Silvia Argueta and Legal Services Corporation President Ronald Flagg about how a tenants' right to counsel can help prevent homelessness by protecting low-income families from unfair evictions. #RightToCounsel #Eviction

Legal Aid is essential for promoting equity and fair play in a legal system that is often stacked against people with low incomes. Wealth should not determine who has access to justice. Our free legal services work to combat economic, racial, and social injustices by advocating for our neighbors experiencing poverty or in legal crisis. #WiseWordsWednesday #JusticeForAll

When a child is taken from their home or out of the country without the consent of both parents, it is considered child abduction........... This is a traumatic experience for both the child and the left-behind parent, and the process of finding and bringing a child home can be a complex legal process.
