Legal Link

We're growing! 🎉

At Legal Link, we believe access to justice shouldn't depend on whether someone can afford a lawyer. We're building new ways to connect people with the legal help they need — and we're looking for two passionate people to join us.

We're hiring:
⚖️ Program & Training Attorney
🤝 Legal Empowerment Advocate

We're a small but mighty team that values collaboration, candor, humor, and kindness. We work hard, move quickly, and believe a 32-hour, 4-day workweek helps us do our best work while sustaining it.

If you're passionate about legal empowerment and want to help close the access to justice gap, we'd love to hear from you.
Please share with your network, or apply today!

What happens when the people communities trust most have the tools to respond to legal crises?

In 2025, we found out.

586 frontline providers became Legal First Aid® certified across six states — reaching 20,000+ Californians and growing a national network now 4,207 strong.

Even more importantly, 91% showed significant gains in legal capability.

That means fewer crises, more families stabilized, and stronger communities.

This is what it looks like when justice moves closer to people.

We are proud to share a new multi-state evaluation of Legal Link’s Legal First Aid® Certification Training, conducted in California, Michigan, Oklahoma, and South Carolina. The training led to very large gains in participants’ legal knowledge and confidence, with 91% reporting stronger legal skills and 91% saying they were very or extremely satisfied. The Net Promoter Score was 79—a “world-class” rating compared to an average of 32 in the legal sector.
The evaluation shows that frontline staff can quickly strengthen their legal skills and better recognize civil legal issues. This data points toward Legal First Aid as a form of legal empowerment education: shifting people’s attitudes, knowledge, and confidence toward not just legal information, but what they can do with that information—not as legal professionals, but as everyday people acting as trusted helpers in their community.
A special thanks to Access to Justice evaluation expert James Teufel, who authored the report and helped bring this important data to light. 📄Read the full report here:

Legal Link’s four-state evaluation of the Legal First Aid Certification Training shows that a five-hour, community-based legal navigation training significantly boosts frontline workers’ legal knowledge, confidence, and ability to support clients with civil legal problems.
