In partnership with the Colorado Lawyers Committee, the Commission re-launched a statewide program that provides free monthly legal help clinics via Zoom in communities across rural  Colorado. People sign up through their local libraries to receive legal advice from an attorney for free. Since the project launched in August, monthly clinics have been established in each of 16 rural libraries, and new rural libraries are being added monthly. 

This program brings law students eager to provide legal help to numerous Colorado communities in need of more lawyers. This summer internship program is designed to embed students in each community and build pathways to eventual careers. This year, the program drew national interest, with 65 applicants from 17 different law schools. Pairs of law students were warmly received by local legal communities and assisted government and nonprofit organizations. 

The Commission is in the process of developing the state's first-ever statewide resource center to support pro bono work. The Center is intended to facilitate coordination and collaboration across pro bono organizations, foster a culture of pro bono service in the legal profession, develop a stateside pro bono training and resource center, and respond to emergent legal needs in times of crises.

The successful passage of HB24-1286 resulted in the creation of a new fund for legal aid generated by modest court filing surcharges. Launched in January of 2025, the fund is expected to raise roughly $4M to be distributed as cash grants to qualifying Colorado nonprofit legal aid organizations. The fund is directed by a newly formed Equal Justice Authority Board for which the Commission staffs and administers the grantmaking process.
