Ending violence, restoring justice and giving the city’s most at-risk youth and young adults a meaningful path forward — at Lawndale Christian Legal Center that’s what we’ve been doing for the past 12 years. Our unique, holistic solution of social and legal services combines criminal legal defense with community partners - outreach workers, restorative justice circle keepers, and case managers - to undermine the arrest / incarcerate / release / repeat cycle that makes violence inevitable. We’ve seen it again and again in the communities we serve: Restorative Justice is a powerful force for violence prevention.
