Mission Statement
VIP promotes equal justice for the poor by providing civil legal services not otherwise available, collaborating with other legal services organizations and promoting a culture of volunteerism by educating and exposing attorneys and law students to issues of poverty.
About This Cause
We are proud to serve as the hub of pro bono legal services in Philadelphia. VIP was founded over thirty years ago to provide pro bono legal assistance when Legal Services Corporation funding to Philadelphia’s Community Legal Services was drastically cut. Since then, VIP has recruited and trained thousands of private bar attorneys to provide consistent, high quality representation to low income clients with critical legal needs. VIP continues to create and implement creative and effective ways of bridging the gap between socially marginalized individuals, families, and communities with legal needs and lawyers possessing the skills and ability to meet those needs. VIP staff and volunteers ensure that everyone has equal access to justice, regardless of income. This is particularly important in this economy when even more people need our help. A lawyers’ expertise can help our clients maintain income, stabilize their families, and remain in their homes. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of our clients. That is the impact of saying yes.
