Just City is a Memphis, Tennessee–based nonprofit legal services organization founded in 2015 by activists, attorneys, and civic leaders. The group focuses on advancing policies and programs in Shelby County and across Tennessee that strengthen the right to counsel and mitigate the harm caused by involvement with the criminal justice system, aiming to support individuals, children, and families affected by court processes. It operates within the legal services sector, positioning itself as an independent voice to advocate for consistent adult and children’s right to counsel policies and to promote community-driven solutions to criminal justice system challenges. A noted activity includes launching initiatives such as the Rockez McDaniel Bailout, supported by a Memphis Community Bail Fund allocation, and establishing programs like Court Watch to observe court proceedings, reflecting one of its aims to monitor and improve judicial processes at the local level.
