NNJLS is a private nonprofit public-interest law firm delivering free civil legal representation to underserved residents of Bergen, Hudson, and Passaic Counties in New Jersey who live in poverty. The organization concentrates on housing, consumer, family, and public benefits law, and operates specialized programs for groups with distinctive needs, including veterans, seniors, survivors of domestic violence or sexual assault, recent immigrants, people living with HIV/AIDS, the formerly incarcerated, the homeless, and taxpayers facing IRS issues. In addition to direct representation, NNJLS engages in community legal education to improve public knowledge of rights and responsibilities.

Based in Jersey City, NNJLS is a mid-sized nonprofit within the legal services industry focused on expanding access to justice for low-income residents. A 2019 partnership with Greater Bergen Community Action established a free ESL and Citizenship Program, expanding services to Paterson, Jersey City, and Passaic. The partnership illustrates NNJLS's role in collaborating with local anti-poverty agencies to address civil legal needs.
