About Us

The Georgia Appleseed Center for Law and Justice is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, public interest law center with the mission to increase justice in Georgia through law and policy reform and community engagement. We seek a Georgia where the voices of poor people, children and marginalized people are heard and where injustices that no one should endure are resolved. Despite its small staff, Georgia Appleseed has been able to address serious issues of public concern by enlisting the volunteer services of lawyers and other professionals from around the state.

Our projects have inspired hundreds of lawyers and other volunteers to donate thousands of hours of service in objective legal and factual research and analysis; in report preparation; and in policy advocacy. We do not take on individual client representation. Rather we provide meaningful opportunities for lawyers to do pro bono work to advance systemic law and policy changes using a variety of legal skills in ways that will ultimately benefit a large number of people. Volunteers from the worlds of business, education, health care, just to name a few, also value the opportunity Georgia Appleseed projects provide them to use their own specialized skills to help solve difficult social justice problems. Together, all kinds of people, with different perspectives on accomplishing the same justice outcome, come together “around the Georgia Appleseed table” to find solutions that work for all of Georgia.
