In order to strengthen our services, the Community Law Project is shedding our name.

We are merging our page with Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights, but don't worry- if you are someone who has "liked" or "followed" our page, you will automatically be transferred to our new page!

Our services are not changing, so we hope you will stick around to continue receiving our alerts and events for small businesses, nonprofits, and equitable community development clients.
