Beyond Legal Aid (formerly CALA)
Beyond Legal Aid is a non-profit organization that brings legal services directly to the most disadvantaged in the Chicagoland area and to advance public awareness of legal issues affecting these communities. It will use an innovative practice model, community activism lawyering, to remove barriers to justice for those who are overlooked or turned away by other organizations. Our mission also includes supporting the work of our partner community organizations to strengthen their capacity and impact. We pursue these objectives through community activism law clinics created by and operated in the communities they serve, and in collaboration with respective partner community organizations.
