COVID-19 LEGAL RESOURCES AND INFORMATION

Alliance for Equal Justice organizations are working to protect their staff, volunteers and clients from the spread of COVID-19 while still providing the vital services communities need.

Visit the WA State Bar Association COVID-19 Legal Resource Page.

If you are seeking legal aid for the first time, please call CLEAR if you are outside King County or 2-1-1 if you are in King County.

If you are already working with a civil legal aid organization and need to know whether their services are changed by the COVID-19 pandemic, you should look at the organization’s website or contact them directly.  For a directory of civil legal organizations, click here.
