Although in principle all citizens are entitled to the same rights regardless of income, it's clear that those with greater economic resources tend to have greater access to important legal information and resources. Simply getting an answer to a specific legal question is an increasingly frustrating experience for many and an impossible task for others. It is difficult enough to retain the "right" lawyer or find a suitable resource, but to obtain the services for free or at reduced cost is often next to impossible.

This directory offers community residents, specifically those convicted of crimes and those returning from jail or prison, a variety of legal information and a listing of public and private resources and legal services that are available in the Capital District of New York and are free of charge or offered at reduced cost.
