Justice is supposed to be blind but too often the case is that those who are on the lower end of the socio-economic ladder bear the burden of under representation, limited access to legal help, and limited knowledge of legal and constitutional rights. Below you will find links to sites with information on rights and also sites that have information about legal help for low income individuals:

http://www.lawhelp.org/ LawHelp helps low and moderate income people find free legal aid programs in their communities, and answers to questions about their legal rights. Use their state list to find information to help you with problems related to housing, work, family, bankruptcy, disability, immigration and other topics.  LawHelp is a gateway to America's nonprofit legal services providers.
