Justice for All - A Tennessee Supreme Court Initiative
The Supreme Court created an access to justice website that has information for people with civil legal needs. The site has information on how to get free legal help, how to represent yourself in court, links to court forms, and many other resources.
There is an interactive map on the website where users can click on their county and find information resources in their area. The map is available at: http://www.justiceforalltn.com/resourceslocation/map-view.
There is also a list of all of the pro bono legal advice clinics and programs across the state. The clinics are listed by county. The link to the clinic list is http://www.justiceforalltn.com/resource/legal-clinics-tennessee
The Tennessee Faith and Justice Alliance
The TJFA is a project of the Access to Justice Commission. It is an alliance of faith-based groups in Tennessee who commit to providing legal resources to their congregations and communities. The TFJA was created to align needs seen at the local house of worship level with possible legal resources that are nearby, perhaps even within the same congregation. The notion is to connect with people in need in a place they already go to seek help with a problem. That place is quite often their place of worship. Information on the TFJA is available at http://www.justiceforalltn.com/i-can-help/faith-based-initiative.
