About This Cause
Set up in 1975 as a prototype Law Centre and campaign tool in the movement for civil legal aid, Community Law and Mediation (CLM) has been a pioneering organisation in the provision of community based legal and mediation services. With the establishment of a second law centre in Limerick in 2012, the community CLM services has grown beyond the original catchment area of Coolock and includes anyone who, because of economic, social or other disadvantage, is unable to access legal or mediation services. CLM works to empower individuals experiencing disadvantage through: Legal Advice and Representation; Mediation and Conflict Coaching; Information and Education; and Advocating for Change
