Arkansas Legal Services Partnership
The Arkansas Legal Services Partnership is a statewide collaboration of Legal Aid of Arkansas and the Center for Arkansas Legal Services.
The collaboration's purpose is not only to coordinate state planning but more importantly to enable the partners to achieve together what they cannot achieve alone due to limited resources.
We coordinate statewide initiatives with the two nonprofit Legal Services Programs that work together to provide free civil legal assistance to low-income residents throughout Arkansas. If you need free, non-criminal, legal help then visit the HelpLine or view self-help materials in the Legal Library.
ALSP and the Arkansas Access to Justice Commission are helping Arkansans achieve greater access to justice with the following projects:
-
The ALSP website has become a vehicle for addressing the pro se challenge that confronts Arkansas and the rest of the nation. It has become a critical resource for those who must help themselves by guiding them through the Arkansas state court system. It is also an important tool for the legal advocates helping low-income Arkansans. Learn more about how we are using technology to improve access to justice for all.
-
ALSP also serves as the staff to the Arkansas Access to Justice Commission. In that role it has helped to facilitate important changes in pro bono rules, court assistance projects, statewide educational activities, and legislative funding for both legal aid organizations.

-
ALSP also serves as the staff to the Arkansas Pro Bono Partnership. We coordinate all of the
legal aid organization's based pro bono recruitment, training and retention activities. Involved units are VOCALS, the Equal Access to Justice Panel, River Valley Volunteer Attorney Project, and Arkansas Volunteer Lawyers for the Elderly. Learn more about pro bono opportunities
-
ALSP also provides training opportunities for staff of the two legal aid organizations and
coordinates outside CLE presentations. You can request a 1.0 CLE Ethics hour provided by an Access to Justice Commissioner and
