What is the Chesapeake Legal Alliance (CLA)?

CLA is a not-for-profit organization whose mission is to use the law to improve the quality of the Chesapeake Bay. CLA’s staff and network of volunteer lawyers provide free legal services to support the work of environmental organizations, citizens’ groups, and individuals in efforts to improve the health of the Chesapeake and its watershed. CLA’s work empowers citizens to be more effective in making their voices heard and their actions count in the fight to protect and restore the Bay.
