JAMLAC is at the forefront of expanding access to justice, providing critical legal assistance to individuals and families facing crisis. For many, JAMLAC is their lifeline, ensuring they have the legal support needed to navigate complex situations and protect their rights. The numbers reflect the urgency of this work:
- Over 2,500 people have attended Know Your Rights trainings in the last three months, empowering them with essential legal knowledge.
- Hundreds have used our Family Protection Plans to prepare medical and guardianship documents, safeguarding their families’ futures.
- More than 40 volunteers have mobilized to gather case information and send crucial documents to past and current clients, helping them prepare for unexpected legal challenges.
- 100 children—a 300% increase from last year—are seeking Special Immigrant Juvenile Status (SIJS) through JAMLAC after being abandoned, neglected, or abused, highlighting the urgent need for legal intervention.
This growing need requires dedicated legal professionals to step up and provide support. If you are an attorney, we invite you to join us for our upcoming Family Law 101 (SIJS) training. Your expertise can help vulnerable children and families gain access to the justice they deserve.
