The mission of the NJP is to ensure justice through high quality legal advocacy that promotes the long-term well-being of low-income individuals, families and communities.
As a dynamic statewide law firm, their mission is to empower their clients and fight injustice in all its forms through legal advice and representation, community partnerships and education.
NJP generally addresses civil law problems faced by people on low incomes due to lack of income, problems with education, employment or loss of employment, disability, discrimination, consumer abuse or illegal business practices, physical or family safety, as well as barriers faced by people on low incomes in seeking public services, seeking help, or accessing the courts or other means of resolving disputes or addressing their needs.
There are no fees for clients who are financially eligible for NJP services.
NJP attorneys are paid by NJP with funds provided primarily by the federal government through the national Legal Services Corporation and by the state legislature through the Office of Civil Legal Aid.
NJP also receives limited private funding and support from the Legal Foundation of Washington and the Campaign for Equal Justice.
