The Legal Aid Society of Middle Tennessee and the Cumberlands is a nonprofit legal services organization based in Nashville, Middle Tennessee. It serves 48 counties in the region and operates offices in Clarksville, Columbia, Cookeville, Gallatin, Murfreesboro, Nashville, Oak Ridge and Tullahoma. It provides civil legal assistance to low-income and vulnerable individuals to advance, defend and enforce their legal rights in order to obtain basic necessities of life, addressing gaps where affordable representation is not available in complex civil matters. These offices and services place LAS within the community as a formal provider of access to justice across a broad geographic area. Within the legal services sector, LAS is described as Tennessee's largest nonprofit law firm, reflecting its size and scope in serving residents who lack adequate access to legal representation. A recent development is the January 2024 launch of LAS's Community Classroom, a program to expand community engagement and access to legal education.
