Through its Community Lawyer model, CAC applies legal advocacy, community organizing, public policy analysis, media outreach, civic education, and litigation to foster the growth of citizen-initiated community engagement with government. Located in Elmhurst, Illinois, a western suburb of Chicago, we’d love for you to join us.
