ADVISORY COUNCILS

The Legal Aid Justice Center receives support, guidance and perspective from a distinguished group of citizens in Charlottesville, including past Legal Aid lawyers and local civic leaders who help us with fundraising and planning. We also have formed ad hoc committees to assist with major efforts in our growth as an organization.  These have included our Capital Campaign Committee, which supported the successful purchase and renovation of our Charlottesville office.
