Everyone should have a clear path to justice
IAALS relies on the generosity of visionary partners and supporters who contribute their time, invest in our mission through charitable contributions, and connect us to new opportunities to expand our impact.
When you make a tax-deductible gift to IAALS at the University of Denver, you're supporting the most effective solutions that are transforming our civil justice system. Everyone should have a clear path to justice and yet that is not a reality for millions of people in the United States. Your contribution to IAALS is more than charity: it's an investment in reforming outdated practices and building innovative solutions to create an evolved legal system that provides justice for all.
Impact Stories
Prior to Licensed Legal Paraprofessionals, many people handled their cases alone with no affordable options for legal help, relying on internet searches to understand their rights—often leading to poor outcomes. Now we are here to help, and guide families in Colorado through these difficult matters.

LLP, Cox Baker Page & Bailey, LLC
IAALS' work on minimum competence and research related to the skills and knowledge new lawyers need has been instrumental as Minnesota moves forward with developing additional models to assess attorney competence.
