For decades, thousands of New Hampshire residents each year benefit from the work of NH Legal Assistance (NHLA), the Pro Bono Referral System at the NH Bar Association and the Legal Advice and Referral Center (LARC) - programs that work together toward a goal of providing access to justice for all. While the civil legal aid system in New Hampshire is widely respected, it was often perceived as confusing both for potential clients trying to access the system and for other service providers assisting people in need. That’s why representatives from the three legal aid programs worked for three years to create an even better way to access and deliver these civil legal services in New Hampshire. That better access model is here: 603 Legal Aid. 603 Legal Aid - created from a merger of LARC and Pro Bono - offers a single point of entry for people in New Hampshire who need legal assistance with civil (non-criminal) matters. We maintain an online library of resources about individuals’ rights in many types of civil cases, as well as a vibrant volunteer attorney training program and individualized services by staff advocates. We partner closely with NH Legal Assistance to ensure access to justice for all in our state.
