Fair and impartial courts are a cornerstone of our democracy, but justice is in jeopardy across the country.
Lambda Legal is fighting to restore the integrity of the U.S. court system—and push back against attacks that erode judicial independence and accountability. We’re also working to eliminate bias and discrimination throughout the court system and democratic process, as well as to expand access to justice so that everyone who needs it can get their day in court.
