New York Lawyers for the Public Interest (NYLPI) is a nonprofit organization that protects civil rights and achieves lived equality for communities in need. Their mission is to pursue equality and justice for all New Yorkers. NYLPI combines the power of law, organizing, and the private bar to make lasting change where it’s needed most. They file lawsuits, organize, seek policy reform, inform and educate the public, create pro bono partnerships, and build the capacity of local nonprofits to serve our communities. NCLPI offers a variety of assistance, from full legal representation to advice, referrals, and support with self-help materials. The Pro Bono Clearinghouse at NYLPI connects innovative and impactful nonprofit organizations with free legal services by drawing on volunteer lawyers from New York’s most prestigious law firms and corporate law departments. As part of their community-driven civil rights model, they have developed a track record of successful legal expertise focused on health, disability, immigration, racial, and environmental justice.
