This year, the Community Legal Center (CLC) celebrates fourteen years of
providing pro bono legal services, as well as educational programs and clinics
concerning legal issues, to persons of limited means in Shelby County. The
canons and to the community. The CLC serves the over 30,000 families in
Shelby County whose incomes are between 125% and 175% of the poverty
level – those who simply cannot afford private legal counsel, but who earn                          
enough that they do not qualify for Memphis Area Legal Services (under 125%).
The CLC’s services are available to hard-working people without enough
resources to both “pay the rent” and pay a lawyer.
