SMRLS Mission

To provide a full range of high quality legal services to low income persons and eligible client groups in civil matters, in a respectful manner which enables clients to:

• enforce their legal rights;
• obtain effective access to the courts, administrative agencies and forums which constitute our system of justice;
• maintain freedom from hunger, homelessness, sickness and abuse;
• empower persons and assure equal opportunity, thus, helping people to help themselves and become economically self-reliant, to the extent their individual abilities and circumstances permit.

SMRLS, through a diverse, respectful and fair working environment, and legal assistance and community education activities, shall promote and respect the dignity of low-income persons and shall seek new and effective solutions to the critical and common legal problems of low-income persons which arise in a broad community context.

We take direction for fulfilling our Mission from our Guiding Principles.

SMRLS takes a pro-active approach to ensuring Racial Justice.

SMRLS Leadership also has Norms to guide its conduct.
