Pro bono in Minnesota

One-in-six Minnesotans qualifies for civil legal aid. We don't have the lawyers to match.

ProJusticeMN is housed within Mid-Minnesota Legal Assistance and operated by Legal Services State Support — the statewide partner that funds, trains, and connects civil legal aid organizations across all 87 counties.

The old platform served well for two decades, but it was built for a smaller, slower pro bono ecosystem. The new ProJusticeMN is being rebuilt with input from the volunteers and organizations who actually use it every day — and with the support of the Minnesota State Bar Association, the Minnesota Justice Foundation, and the Legal Services Corporation.
