Organization Details
Illinois legal aid online (ilao) opens opportunities for justice by educating illinoisans about their rights and connecting them to lawyers, solutions, and each other, especially people for whom the legal system was not designed. through innovation and allyship, we make the law actionable and accessible. our vision is a just society where all people have equitable access to opportunities. we believe that, with the right knowledge and guidance, people can be their own best advocates. we mobilize people with plain- language, 24/7 tools - in two languages - so families can understand and assert their legal rights. ilao helps people, who are unable to find or afford attorneys, open opportunities for justice. since its inception in 2001, ilao has used technology and partnerships to lower barriers to the law so that people facing barriers to justice can understand their options, make informed decisions, and represent themselves in court.
