Maricopa County Justice Museum & Learning Center

This unique museum opened in 2012 and is centered around a restored cellblock on the sixth floor of Maricopa County’s Historic old Courthouse – the Courthouse has been renovated to its 1929 grandeur. While visiting the museum you will get a sense of Maricopa County’s legal history, its court cases and important elements of the Rule of Law, including individual rights and liberties guaranteed in the United States and Arizona constitutions. To our knowledge, it is the only such museum in an active courthouse in the country.

Volunteer Lawyers Program

The Volunteer Lawyers Program (VLP) in Maricopa County is a joint project of Community Legal Services and the Maricopa County Bar Association. Volunteers represent clients with problems related to housing, employment, consumer issues, debt collection, bankruptcy, tax, tort defense, and family law/domestic violence. They provide advice to individuals and families seeking counsel about debt management or defense, where relief from wage garnishment is needed. If needed, they will recommend or help provide representation in no asset bankruptcy petitions. For more information or to volunteer, visit the Community Legal Services website or contact Roni Tropper at rtropper@clsaz.org.

 

 

MCBA makes it possible for individuals to join and pay dues to these groups when they join or renew with MCBA. Sister Bar presidents serve as ex-officio members of the MCBA Board of Directors.
