"We love our work— the thrill of a well placed story, the standing ovation, the perfect event—and all of the behind the scenes details that get us there."

The groups supported by the Maine Bar Foundation include: Cumberland Legal Aid Clinic, Immigrant Legal Advocacy Project, Legal Services for the Elderly, Maine Equal Justice Partners, Pine Tree Legal Assistance, Maine Volunteer Lawyers Project and others. The primary purpose of the Foundation is to support projects designed to improve access to justice, especially for low income and socially disadvantaged populations.
