About Massachusetts Law Reform Institute
The Massachusetts Law Reform Institute is a statewide legal advocacy and support center. Our mission is to represent low-income people, elders, and disabled people in their struggle for basic human needs, to defend against policies and actions that harm and marginalize people living in poverty, and to advocate for systemic reforms that achieve social and economic justice. Our activities include advice, litigation, policy analysis, research, technical assistance and public information.
