PLEI Organizations

The main goal of public legal education and information (PLEI) organizations is to create an informed citizenry that is knowledgeable about the law, able to recognize and exercise their lawful rights, fulfill their legal obligations, and perform their duties as participants in a democratic society.

Each organization listed below sets its own mandate, goals, and means of delivering information. Note that in general, PLEI organizations offer impartial information about the laws that affect the lives of the people with whom they deal.
