City Bar Justice Center

The City Bar Justice Center (CBJC) increases access to justice by leveraging the resources of the New York City legal community. The CBJC provides legal assistance to those in need; mobilizes lawyers, law firms, corporate legal departments, and other legal institutions to provide pro bono legal services; educates the public on legal issues; fosters strategic relationships; and impacts public policy. Our supporters turn our mission into reality: a dozen core projects led by experts in the field, over 1,000 pro bono attorneys trained and mentored by staff, and the largest free civil legal hotline in New York State all add up to our ability to level the playing field for those without the means to navigate our justice system.
