Every year, the Alliance for Equal Justice helps more than 70,000 low-income and vulnerable people in Washington secure justice through a network of civil legal aid programs that provide legal information, advice, and representation. Today, more than 40 organizations are part of the Alliance for Equal Justice. Formed in 2004 out of growing collaborative efforts within the legal aid community, the Alliance is an umbrella network of all civil legal aid programs in Washington State. To increase client service, the Alliance creates efficiency, provides support, and fosters collaboration among members.
