• Community Non-Profit Corporation Model

This model is in operation in the 13th Judicial Circuit (Boone and Callaway counties). With the leadership of the court, a diverse group formed a non-profit corporation to provide legal help to low-income persons who are not eligible for Legal Service Corporation programs.

Judges of the circuit and Supreme Court of Missouri invited all members of the local bar to a kick-off recruitment event.
