The SPLC's current legal work is focused in four areas — immigrant justice, juvenile justice, school discipline reform, 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.

Listed below are some other resources that may be able to help you find an attorney in your area or assist you generally with information:

• The American Bar Association's Find Legal Help
