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 grant program by the Illinois Equal Justice Foundation, particularly through New Leaf Illinois, aims to fund organizations offering legal services for the expungement of cannabis convictions. This initiative forms part of a statewide effort to ensure equal justice for individuals previously arrested or convicted in relation to cannabis usage, production, and sale. The New Leaf Illinois grants focus on four main areas: supporting operating expenses for legal services hotlines (Telephone Advice & Referral Services), underwriting direct service staff at legal services providers (Legal Services), funding community outreach projects to distribute legal information on cannabis expungement (Community Outreach), and providing technical assistance to New Leaf Illinois grantees (Technical Assistance). These grants are intended to cover a range of needs from staff salaries to technology investments, aiming to efficiently and effectively aid individuals in accessing legal relief for cannabis expungement.
