National Coalition of Concerned Legal Professionals (NCCLP)
Join the fight for a legal system that puts people over profit
National Coalition of Concerned Legal Professionals (NCCLP) is a free and voluntary unincorporated private membership association of attorneys, paralegals, legal administrators, secretaries, court reporters, law students, business people, clergy and other concerned community members who commit their time, resources and skills through NCCLP to promote legal recourse and meaningful access to the courts for the growing numbers of people in the U.S. who otherwise cannot afford the high cost of attorneys and are therefore denied access to the legal system.
Without equal access to the law, the system not only robs the poor of their only protection, but it places in the hands of their oppressors the most powerful and ruthless weapon ever invented. The law itself becomes the means of extortion ... The poor come to think of American justice as containing only laws that punish and never help. They are against the law because they consider the law against them. A persuasion spreads that there is one law for the rich and another for the poor.
