Throughout Laurence Kahn’s career as a lawyer who prosecuted consumer fraud and resolved countless disputes, he always believed a big part of his job was helping people with their problems. In 2004, that attitude sparked a thought one night as Kahn lay in bed.
“This came to me from within, in the middle of a night,” he recalls. “The whole concept was literally there in an instant.”
The idea? Kahn wanted to create a nonprofit agency where people could go for help with their problems their legal difficulties and just about anything else. Kahn wouldn’t worry about charging any fees. As he puts it, “Why not help people first?”

The Georgia Department of Labor is facing a lawsuit from unemployed workers who say their claims still have not been processed.
The lawsuit has six co-defendants, all of whom are currently unemployed. They cite the agency’s failure to process claims and the lack of justification for the denials as the justification for the suit against the department and Commissioner Mark Butler. The Georgia Legal Services Program (GLSP) is assisting the plaintiffs in the case, as is the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Atlanta Legal Aid Society.
