Improving Access to Legal Help for the Underserved Middle Class

A community of leaders working together to make legal services more affordable for everyday people

With a specific focus on the legal needs of the vastly overlooked middle class, the Above the Line Network (ATLN) is a new, organized network of individuals and organizations across the United States and Canada that are committed to improving access for the middle-market—a collaborative and supportive community where ideas, resources, and best practices can be shared, further developed, and scaled to reach more people who need affordable legal services.

By collaborating and expanding on successful middle class-focused legal services, and by building support for larger policy and systemic changes, the Above the Line Network stands to increase access to justice for the middle class—and ultimately, people of all income levels.
