Defying Legal Gravity is committed to democratizing the law by providing New York City youth with the same foundational legal education taught in the first year of law school. We believe that legal literacy is the key to empowering individuals, ensuring equal access to justice, and fostering civic engagement. Through our innovative programs, we are building a movement that equips the next generation with the knowledge and skills to navigate legal challenges, advocate for their rights, and uplift their communities.
