The Social Justice Law Collective (SJLC) is committed to, and based on, one simple concept. That all men, women and children have the inalienable right to be treated equally under the law, regardless of race, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation, disability, familial status, or incarceration. SJLC currently has offices in Washington, D.C. and Kansas City, and handles cases primarily in Washington D.C., Kansas, and Florida.
SJLC's criminal defense practice is limited to Washington D.C., however, through cooperation with local attorneys across the country, SJLC accepts civil rights cases in all fifty states.
SJLC is led by its two founding member attorneys, Joshua Glickman and Shawn Heller, who have significant experience handling major, systemic litigation involving civil rights for incarcerated individuals, housing and disability-related discrimination, criminal defense litigation, as well as impact litigation and class actions for indigent populations.
SJLC engages in all forms of advocacy in order to achieve justice for its clients, including direct and appellate litigation, legislative advocacy, administrative rule-making, and more.

There are currently 7 million people under the supervision of the adult correctional system in the United States; over 2.3 million of those men, women, and children are currently incarcerated in federal and state prisons, local jails, and juvenile facilities across the country.
This means that 1 out of every 34 people in our country is under some form of correctional supervision, while 1 out of every 99 American adults is currently confined to a jail or prison cell.
The figures become exponentially worse when broken down by race, ethnicity, and gender.

Consumers too often suffer the brunt of corporate wrongdoing, particularly though the use of false or misleading advertising, outrageous pricing for essential products and services, and the widespread use of unsolicited advertising practices.
The attorney members of the Social Justice Law Collective have represented classes of consumers ranging from several hundred to over 100,000 in a variety of class actions designed to protect consumers and fight against abusive business practices.
With the proliferation of profit-driven, private hospitals, price gouging for essential medical services and procedures has become unfortunately commonplace.
