The core of Legal Aid’s mission is to help low-income people navigate the complexities of the court system at the most vulnerable times in their lives. Legal Aid’s clients face evictions, health crises, foreclosure, domestic violence, education issues and consumer challenges that can only be solved with the help of a lawyer.

“Picturing Justice” is an annual exhibition that illuminates the human stories that live behind such common shorthand as "case", "client" or "issue" so we can better experience, empathize and advocate for the lives that are improved by this important work.

This year’s commission focuses on legal advocacy pertaining to housing insecurity in relation to evictions and tenant/landlord protections and will be shown in conjunction with the ongoing group exhibition and the 2020 commission which highlights housing insecurity in relation to domestic violence.
