ORLANDO CENTER FOR JUSTICE, INC. AT A GLANCE
OCJ is a legal aid organization and an organization of community lawyers. See below to learn more about the ways we serve.
DIRECT LEGAL SERVICES
One to One Representation
With this initiative, our goal is to provide access to representation for those in need. Our current focus is to be available for those new to Florida or the United States. With access to legal representation, people can become empowered and most importantly be heard. As we grow we want to continue to provide holistic legal assistance through wrap around legal services or referrals for additional assistance.
INNOVATIVE OUTREACH/ HOLISTIC HEALING
Reach Beyond Representation
With our organization’s mission always in mind, we are dedicated to hosting and supporting information sessions and pro se community legal clinics. We also strive to find new ways to reach people by testing new models of legal representation and new ways to share information in the community. But representation is not our only goal. We connect clients with local organizations or community centers as a way to holistically heal, organize and fight to influence social change for others walking in their shoes.
INSPIRING COMMUNITY LAWYERS
Student Internships/Volunteers
At Orlando Center for Justice, Inc., we want to inspire future community lawyers. We host interns from our area legal studies programs and law schools. For our summer internship positions, law students from all ABA accredited law schools can apply. Students also allow us to have a broader reach. Our hope is to help inspire hearts for community lawyering while providing hands on experience.
