Providing Greater Access to Justice
The mission of The Florida Bar Foundation, a charitable organization established in 1956 by Florida lawyers and the Supreme Court of Florida, is to provide greater access to justice. The Foundation accomplishes its mission primarily through funding of programs that:
- Expand and improve representation and advocacy on behalf of low-income persons in civil legal matters
- Improve the fair and effective administration of justice
- Promote service to the public by members of the legal profession by making public service an integral component of the law school experience
