The SPLC's current legal work is focused in five areas — immigrant justice, juvenile justice, school discipline reform, LGBT-rights and lawsuits against hate groups.

We do not handle any other matters at this time. We do not have the legal staff to accept individual legal cases.

If you need an attorney, we suggest you contact your state bar association to request an attorney referral.
