Support equal access to justice.

NHLAA's 2026 Equal Access to Justice Reception will honor Judge Janet Hall (Ret.) and Havenly, and we're inviting sponsors to help make this year's event possible.

Sponsorship levels range from Advocate ($500) to Presenting ($10,000), with tickets, program recognition, and social media features included at every tier.

For nearly 60 years, NHLAA has worked to make sure that access to justice isn't determined by income. Sponsors make that work possible.

To learn more or select your sponsor level, contact Alexis Smith at [email protected] or (203) 946-4811. For invoices, reach out to Laura Clark at [email protected].

Las comunidades hispanas y latinas han contribuido a dar forma a la historia, la cultura y el futuro del área metropolitana de New Haven durante generaciones.

En este Mes de la Herencia Hispana, celebramos a las personas y comunidades que hacen de nuestra región lo que es hoy en día, al tiempo que reconocemos que sentirse parte de esta comunidad también significa que se respeten tus derechos, se escuche tu voz y tengas acceso a la justicia cuando lo necesites.

En la Asociación de Asistencia Jurídica de New Haven, nos enorgullece trabajar junto a nuestros vecinos hispanos y latinos durante todo el año para ayudar a que esos derechos se hagan realidad.

Hispanic and Latino communities have helped shape the history, culture, and future of Greater New Haven for generations.

This Hispanic Heritage Month, we celebrate the people and communities who make our region what it is today, while recognizing that belonging also means having your rights respected, your voice heard, and access to justice when you need it.

At New Haven Legal Assistance Association, we are proud to work alongside our Hispanic and Latino neighbors throughout the year to help make those rights a reality.

On the second floor of our Orange Street office hangs a bright, colorful piece of NHLAA history.

Created to commemorate our 40th anniversary, this quilt features patches signed by current and former colleagues who have each played a part in advancing our mission and expanding access to justice in our community.

More than a keepsake, it’s a reminder of the many people who have shaped NHLAA’s work and the generations who have carried our commitment to equal justice forward.
