The Access to Justice Dinner has raised more than $8 million over its 16-year history to help sustain these vital programs and services. Your participation in the 2015 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.
