Legal Aid Service of Northeastern Minnesota (LASNEM) is thrilled to announce its transformation and rebranding as "Justice North." Beginning today, October 30, 2023, LASNEM officially changes its name to “Justice North.”

This new name reflects the organization's unwavering dedication to access to justice and its geographical scope in serving Northern Minnesota. This change represents a more accessible and modern identity, making it easier for clients to connect with the essential legal services they need.

With a renewed commitment to providing accessible legal assistance, Justice North is ushering in this new era with a new name, a new website, and new office locations. To celebrate this exciting milestone, ribbon-cutting ceremonies and open houses are scheduled at new Justice North office locations throughout the region.

Justice North invites community members, legal professionals, government representatives, and anyone interested in supporting Justice North and their community to join their ribbon-cutting and open house events. Justice North believes that access to justice is a fundamental right for all, and this new identity reflects their unwavering commitment to making this belief a reality.

Justice North, formerly known as LASNEM, is a nonprofit civil law firm providing representation, limited services, advice, or information to individuals with issues that fall outside of the criminal justice system. For people facing civil legal challenges such as the threat of losing their home, safety, health care, income, or even their families, navigating the justice system without a lawyer can be nearly impossible.

Justice North opens the doors of the justice system to the most vulnerable in our communities by providing critical legal assistance to preserve our clients’ safety, security, and stability.
