Creating Positive Change for Individuals and Communities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At CLASI, we transform lives and communities through high-quality individual legal representation and broader impact advocacy for Delawareans who need it most.

At the heart of our work is representation in individual cases<\/strong>, helping to ensure that everyone can access justice regardless of their background or financial circumstances. Each day, we help protect our clients’ fundamental legal rights, enable families to meet their basic needs, and assure that can access the services and supports they need to live healthy, stable lives.

We also work for broader community and statewide change<\/strong>, informed by the challenges our individual clients face. We leverage our resources to help thousands more Delawareans than we otherwise could on a case-by-case basis. We work to change laws, policies, and practices that negatively affect our clients and their communities, and to enforce the laws meant to protect them. We employ a range of strategies in this work, including impact litigation, legislative and administrative advocacy, and community legal education.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
