PrintMISSION AND STRATEGIC DIRECTION
As the charitable arm of The Chicago Bar Association, The Chicago Bar Foundation (CBF) rallies our legal community around a cause that is uniquely important to us as lawyers and legal professionals: ensuring that everyone in the Chicago area has access to justice, particularly the low-income and disadvantaged Chicagoans who most need the protections of our civil legal system.
By taking a system-wide approach to tackling this issue, the CBF plays a distinct and vital role in the community. Through grants, advocacy and other programs, we:
-
Advance the work of our community’s pro bono and legal aid organizations;
-
Enable dedicated lawyers to pursue careers in legal aid and help pro bono attorneys most effectively supplement their efforts; and
-
Make the courts and legal system more user-friendly and accessible for all.
