The Illinois Equal Justice Foundation (IEJF) aims to improve access to justice for all Illinois residents, particularly those of low income who cannot afford legal representation. It provides funding to nonprofit organizations that offer free legal services, including advice, consultations, and representation, as well as mediation services to individuals facing legal challenges such as eviction.
The IL Armed Forces Legal Aid Network (IL-AFLAN) provides civil legal services to Illinois residents who are veterans, active duty military, their spouses, and dependents. Focused on issues such as family law, housing, consumer problems, and certain employment issues, IL-AFLAN aims to address legal barriers for those who served or are serving in the U.S. military, ensuring they receive the support and aid they need.
