The Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, JALA, developed during the Great Depression and the recession of 1937 out of a group of attorneys who organized to provide pro bono legal services to those who could not afford the services.[2] The Jacksonville Area Legal Aid was officially named in 1973, and received 501(c)(3) tax status in 1976.[2] JALA is a mid-size law firm with over 50 lawyers and support staff who offer free legal services to low income clients in civil legal matters which include public benefits, employment/unemployment law, family law, landlord-tenant disputes, fair housing, guardianship, refugee and asylee immigration, foreclosure defense, and consumer law.[3] JALA works with Florida Coastal School of Law[4] and has supported accredited externships with the Florida State University.[5]
