Webinar
Wednesday, May 27 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM (Eastern Daylight Time)

This virtual webinar, The Economic Impact of Civil Legal Aid, explores how access to legal representation in civil matters extends far beyond individual cases. Through a dynamic panel discussion, participants will examine how civil legal aid strengthens economic stability, supports families and communities, and generates measurable returns for states and local economies. Panelists will explore the wide-ranging impact of civil legal aid across areas such as housing, domestic violence, healthcare access, public benefits, and veterans’ services. The discussion will highlight how legal assistance not only helps individuals resolve critical legal issues, but also reduces strain on public systems, improves economic participation, and promotes more efficient and equitable outcomes. Drawing on data, policy analysis, and real-world examples, this webinar will demonstrate how civil legal aid functions as essential infrastructure, supporting stability, preventing costly crises, and contributing to long-term community well-being.
