LAFLA, the frontline law firm for poor people in Los Angeles County, is the first place people living in poverty turn to when legal problems threaten their homes, health and livelihoods. Each day, scores of individuals and families who face systemic barriers to equal justice, equal opportunity and, too often, basic human rights come to one of LAFLA's five neighborhood legal offices, three courthouse domestic violence clinics and four courthouse Self-Help Centers.

The Access to Justice Dinner has raised more than $8 million over its 18-year history to help sustain these vital programs and services. Your participation in the 2017 Access to Justice Dinner as will help make this year's benefit another outstanding success and ensure that LAFLA's poverty law specialists continue to advocate for those who need them most.
