Sam Maduegbuna

I support Access Justice Brooklyn because I believe everyone can help expand access to the legal system and realize a vision of justice for all. Today’s harsh legal and economic realities disproportionately affect people with low incomes, especially in marginalized communities. The effects of this injustice are felt throughout the borough. Providing civil legal services to Brooklynites in need is critical, but Access Justice Brooklyn can’t do it alone. Join with me in supporting their efforts!

ABOUT THE GALA

The Access Justice Brooklyn Gala celebrates and honors the work of extraordinary individuals who have demonstrated an unwavering commitment to serving the public good and equal justice.

This year, we will have the unique and exciting opportunity to celebrate our inaugural Gala as Access Justice Brooklyn following the recent launch of our new name, new brand, and renewed commitment to our mission and the Brooklyn community.


Every day in Brooklyn, people with low incomes—especially in marginalized communities—face legal challenges alone. Barriers to representation and affordable support complicate an already unbalanced system. Access Justice Brooklyn believes the system only works fairly when all Brooklynites have the means to access and achieve justice. 

As Access Justice Brooklyn’s premier fundraising event, funds raised for the Gala strengthen our vital work and impact throughout the borough. Access Justice Brooklyn partners with compassionate pro bono attorneys to provide high-quality, civil legal services that help ensure equal access to the legal system. Our approach prioritizes the most basic, essential elements and experiences of human life, including housing, family stability, and subsistence income. Our proven pro bono model—recruit, train, supervise, and support— also provides flexibility to address new legal issues as they emerge. Everyone, whether an attorney or not, has a role to play in expanding access to justice.
