Center for Law and Justice

Center for Law and Justice Eliminating the gap between law and justice!

For over 35 years, the Center for Law and Justice, Inc., a tax-exempt community-based organization, has provided quality criminal justice education, advocacy, and public policy analyses, primarily for the Capital District community. Throughout this time, we have been at the forefront of identifying and raising important criminal justice issues and working to find solutions to the social problems t

hat beset our community. Last year we served more than 4,000 residents who needed legal guidance, criminal justice information, referrals and other empowering services. We did all of this with extremely limited financial resources and the valuable assistance and support of college interns, volunteers and members. The Center for Law and Justice will continue to assist our organization in its efforts to continue our mission to support the fair and just treatment of all people throughout the civil and criminal justice systems and to reduce societal reliance upon incarceration. The center offers the following services:

Free criminal justice and legal resources

Public education and bold leadership in identifying and seeking solutions to social problems

Monitoring and critical analysis of public policy

Recommendations for policy and procedural changes to protect and promote the civil rights of all community residents

Intake assessment and referral to community resources, health insurance navigation and health care access, and legal representation for civil matters through our partnership with legal aid. We also provide assistance with sealing eligible criminal records and obtaining certificates of relief/good conduct.
