Support for the Colorado Lawyers Committee enables the organization and its volunteers to continue expanding our efforts in creating and increasing opportunities for children and other disadvantaged communities through pro bono advocacy, negotiation, and litigation.
How your gift furthers our mission:
Founded in 1978, the Colorado Lawyers Committee is a nonpartisan consortium of almost 80 Colorado law firms dedicated to creating and increasing opportunities for children, the poor and other disadvantaged communities through pro bono advocacy, negotiation, and litigation. The lawyers who donate their time through the Lawyers Committee focus primarily on major public policy issues and systemic changes rather than representation of individuals.
The Colorado Lawyers Committee has more than 30 active projects in the areas of Poverty & Public Benefits, Civil Rights & Criminal Law, Children's Rights & Education, Community Development, and Immigration. Last year, 1,340 volunteers contributed 12,480 hours to Colorado Lawyers Committee projects and task forces. We work closely with the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights Under Law and its affiliates in seven other cities throughout the country.
