Earthjustice, a non-profit public interest law organization based in San Francisco coupled with nine regional offices in the United States, is a self-proclaimed good lawyer for the only home that humans have known for millennia.

While there are many environmental groups in the world today - truly, a good thing for society - Earthjustice stands out because of its excellent track record in the industry. It has been recognized in many ways, such as:

  • Cited as one of America's 100 Best Charities according to Worth magazine

It must be emphasized that Earthjustice provides for its legal services free of charge. Its expenses are funded by generous donations from individuals, groups and foundations although it does not receive funding from governments and corporations; the latter action is essential in keeping its independence from vested interests caused by donations with underlying motives, among others.
