The CVI Legal Clinic

We’re building and supporting a network of new lawyers and advocates to support those at the highest risk of violence. The Community Violence Prevention Law Clinic will be established through partnerships with community based organizations, law firms, and law schools around the country to provide pro bono representation and support for frontline violence prevention workers, gun violence survivors, and people with low incomes who have been impacted by gun violence.

The goal of the law clinic when in partnership with community organizations will be to provide free or low cost general counsel support to CVI organizations and local ecosystems. The goal of the law clinic when in partnership with law schools and law firms will be to help support a new generation of lawyers and legal support staff that are educated on ways to utilize the criminal legal system to support gun violence prevention.
