JCF Legal Clinic

Jeremiah’s Circle of Friends Legal Clinic

Born of the vision of Reverend J. Michael Little, Senior Pastor of Friendship Baptist Church, and his belief that, “above all, the poor must have access to justice,” and in partnership with the nationally renowned law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, LLP, Jeremiah’s Circle of Friends offers low-income residents of Washington DC, Maryland, and Virginia free legal services in a variety of civil matters, including family, housing, employment, consumer, immigration, and public benefits law.

Vision

At JCF, we envision a future filled with hope for all residents. We see a community filled with a willingness to lend a helping hand to those who are less fortunate; to the end that none should be deprived of our most essential human needs: food and shelter, access to justice, and opportunities for self-fulfillment.

Mission Statement

Jeremiah’s Circle of Friends, Inc. is a collaborative community-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that seeks to assist vulnerable residents of the Washington DC area, by providing essential services, including, basic needs such as food, clothing, and access to affordable housing, legal aid and mediation services, life skills training, and a youth development program. JCF enlists compassionate professionals and organizations to donate their time and talents toward these ends. We are guided at all times by our commitment to a just society, and by our desire to empower the people and families we serve.

The JCF Legal Clinic

The Clinic strives to bring the kind of quality legal and mediation services based on respect and empowerment that everyone deserves. Our pro bono model builds bridges and provides an enriching professional experience for our volunteers.
