Community Lawyers, Inc. has launched the Community Lawyers Access Center (CLAC) in the City of Compton where individuals, small businesses and nonprofits who are not currently served by legal aid organizations and cannot afford market legal rates can access assistance on civil legal matters.

A computer center where individuals pay reasonable fees to prepare their own pleadings and pay attorneys reasonable rates to provide assessment, review paperwork, and represent them when necessary.  The goal of the Access Center is to offer a comprehensive legal service center that is accessible after hours and on Saturdays, when court-based self-help centers are not available to individuals who work regular business hours. CLI invites lawyers, paralegals, law students, social workers, psychologists, educators, community leaders and professionals to inquire about how they can contribute to such an important project.
