Community Law Center is a nonprofit law firm based in Baltimore, Maryland, offering legal services to community and nonprofit organizations across the state. Its work focuses on strengthening the nonprofit sector and promoting healthier neighborhoods by addressing legal needs that may be unaffordable for many groups. It is Maryland’s only legal services organization dedicated solely to strengthening neighborhoods and the nonprofit sector, and it works with a broad network of partners, including community organizers, nonprofits, businesses, law enforcement, educators, and government agencies to help clients pursue strategic goals. The organization relies on a combination of staff attorneys and a large cadre of volunteer attorneys to provide representation across a wide range of legal matters for neighborhoods and nonprofits.

As a participant in the legal services field, Community Law Center aims to assist communities lacking resources for private legal representation. Through its programs, it has supported the formation and growth of hundreds of community associations and nonprofits, facilitated the revitalization of blighted land and vacant structures, and contributed to reductions in crime and nuisance activities linked to properties. Based in Baltimore and serving Maryland, the center functions as a resource that uses legal tools to address social, economic, and environmental challenges in neighborhoods. In August 2023, it announced the appointment of Cecelia 'Cece' Chase as a pro bono attorney, reflecting ongoing expansion of its volunteer network.
