For 20 years, Illinois Legal Aid Online (ILAO) has simplified the law so people can seek justice. Much has changed since our inception, but our mission has remained the same: Illinois Legal Aid Online (ILAO) increases access to justice by breaking barriers of race, language, income, education, and geography, for families and individuals with civil legal problems in Illinois, who cannot find or afford lawyers.
Because of ILAO, people can navigate the legal system with confidence and do not feel alone.
ILAO's self-help tools are designed with dignity and respect, knowing that people who use them may be in crisis or feel confused. Through innovation, we make the law understandable and accessible.
Thousands of stakeholders, partners and supporters have molded ILAO into what is today - a nationwide model for leveraging innovation to increase access to those most in need of, but least likely to get, justice.
Dollars raised from Shining a Light for Justice, which is ILAO's largest fundraiser of the year, ensure that ILAO continues to provide justice to those seeking help and hope. Thank you for partnering with us.
