Who We Are

This site is created through a partnership of Kentucky's four legal aid programs and the Kentucky Access to Justice Commission. Together, we are the Legal Aid Network of Kentucky.

What We Do

Provide legal self-help resources, information, and referrals to people in need of civil legal representation.

Why We Do It

We believe all individuals deserve access to justice.

 

We strive to resolve the most important problems of
low-income and other vulnerable people.

We provide high quality legal assistance through direct representation,
education, advice, advocacy and coordination with other community resources.

Use kyjustice to help your community. 

The kyjustice.org website was created by legal aid attorneys who believe every Kentuckian deserves meaningful access to justice. Community partners and service providers can support their communities by watching this video series, which explains the site’s purpose and highlights tools that provide accurate legal information, high-quality resources, and practical self-help materials.

Use this link to access the full toolkit. It includes training videos on how to use the site to better serve your constituents, along with additional multimedia content you can use to help promote the site.
