This year, the Community Legal Center (CLC) celebrates sixteen years of providing pro bono legal services, as well as educational programs and clinics concerning legal issues, to persons of limited means in Shelby County. The canons and to the community. The CLC serves the over 30,000 families in Shelby County whose incomes are between 125% and a living wage– those who simply cannot afford private legal counsel, but who earn enough that they do not qualify for Memphis Area Legal Services. The CLC’s services are available to hard-working people without enough resources to both “pay the rent” and pay a lawyer.
