Defying Legal Gravity envisions a society where the law is accessible, equitable, and a tool for justice for all—regardless of age, background, or socioeconomic status. Through education, advocacy, and community engagement, we aim to build a lasting movement for legal empowerment that ensures everyone has the opportunity to thrive. In our current climate, we recognize that to create a more just society, we must foster a legally literate population. But legal literacy is a complex concept.

How do you define it? Measure it? Instill it?

DLG answers these questions with a unique and effective formula: we host programming that teaches the comprehensive first-year law school curriculum—the same foundation every attorney in America receives. This curriculum is the key to unlocking the rest of the legal system, equipping participants with the capability and confidence to navigate legal systems, advocate for justice, and create meaningful change. Through this, we help create a world where legal literacy is universal, empowering individuals to navigate and shape the legal systems that affect their lives.

By breaking down barriers to legal education, we redefine access to justice and champions a future where the law belongs to everyone.
