The Legal Assistance Society is dedicated to helping underprivileged people in Charlottesville and the surrounding area. Through its six projects, the Domestic Violence Project, the Legal Education Project, the Migrant Farmworkers Project, the Native American Law Project, the Rappahannock Legal Services Clinic, and the Volunteer Income Tax Association,LAS provides varied opportunities for its members to gain practical legal experience.
LAS is an umbrella organization that provides funding and administrative support to UVA Law School volunteer groups. Many of the projects are in conjunction with a legal organization in the area. The individuals who seek help from LAS projects do not generally have easy access to legal assistance.
