Welcome to MassLegalServices.org,
the online poverty law library and collaboration resource
for legal services advocates in Massachusetts.
MassLegalServices offers resources and information about legal issues facing lower income Massachusetts residents to legal services advocates and social services professionals. If you are not a lawyer or legal advocate, you will probably find MassLegalHelp more useful.
To see if free legal representation for your civil legal problem is available, use our Find Legal Aid directory.
If you are an attorney looking for a pro bono opportunity, see the Massachusetts Bar Association's searchable Pro Bono Opportunities Guide.
