Almost 50 years ago, a consortium of District of Columbia law schools created Rising for Justice – formerly Law Students in Court (LSIC) – as a response to the crisis in legal services for the poor. Rising for Justice is the oldest legal services nonprofit in the District of Columbia.

LSIC is making justice a reality for low-income residents while training and inspiring the next generation of social justice advocates.
