The Public Justice Center is a civil legal aid organization based in Baltimore, Maryland, that pursues systemic change through legal advocacy to advance social justice, economic and race equity, and fundamental human rights. It provides advice and representation to low-income clients and collaborates with community and advocacy organizations, while also engaging in policy advocacy before legislatures and government agencies. The center selects projects and cases that are likely to create meaningful shifts in laws, policies, and how institutions operate. Current priorities include advocating for families needing healthcare and benefits, supporting low-wage workers and low-income tenants, and helping students overcome barriers to enrollment and achievement, along with reforms to pretrial detention and appellate work aimed at building sound civil rights and poverty law precedents. A recent development is the launch of a how-to guide for filing a Title VI complaint with the U.S. Department of Education.
