About Us

Background

Established in January 2020, CENTER FOR LEGAL AID SUPPORT SERVICES (CLASS), is a private, non-profit and public interest legal aid service provider.

Founded with the firm conviction that every individual deserves LEGAL AID SUPPORT, especially those who are unable to afford legal representation or the opportunity to appear in court before facing imprisonment. CLASS stands as a beacon of hope.  

It works in many areas of the law alone or in collaboration with other institutions (private or public). One of its numerous functions include equipping individuals with the necessary legal knowledge they need to understand the legal system and make informed choices. Therefore, CLASS invites all seekers of justice and legal knowledge to join its journey of discovery and enlightenment, empowering individuals to fight against injustice.
