About Champions of Justice
In 2010, Nevada Legal Services (NLS) created the Champions of Justice Award to give recognition to those who significantly support access to justice for all Nevadans by providing or promoting pro bono assistance. The dedication of our awardees has greatly increased the ability of Nevada Legal Services and our sister organizations to meet the ever-increasing demand for our assistance. NLS is fortunate to have many generous volunteers throughout the state who participate in our pro bono programs. We also thank the many individuals and groups beyond the legal community who support our organization and help us provide legal aid services to low-income Nevadans.
