East River Legal Services

East River Legal Services Advancing Equal Access to Justice for our most vulnerable citizens. For these people, justice is not an abstract concept. It is tangible material reality.

East River's mission is to provide legal services for the impoverished and victimized citizens of eastern South Dakota. Our clients are made up of the more than 14% of South Dakotans living below the poverty line. It is food, shelter, and protection. It is the difference between staying in poverty and getting out; living in danger or in safety; between dependence and self-reliance. But without hel

p, justice is often denied. East River Legal Services (ERLS) is dedicated to the belief that no one should be denied access to justice because of poverty. ERLS is committed to being the leader in providing dependable, high-quality, meaningful legal assistance focused on transforming the lives of the impoverished and abused members of our community.
