Associates for Justice
For decades, Legal Aid Society has partnered with the legal community to ensure that real Kentuckians — our neighbors, friends, and families — have access to justice, regardless of income. One of our proudest traditions is the Associates for Justice Campaign, which engages young attorneys in supporting equal justice from the very beginning of their careers.
By joining the campaign, you are not only upholding this tradition but also making an immediate impact on the lives of Kentuckians in crisis. A parent struggling to keep their home, a veteran securing earned benefits, or a survivor of domestic violence finding safety — these are just a few of the people who benefit from your generosity.
