James B. Lee Justice Center Campaign
In 2022, “and Justice for all” found we needed to look for a new home. We subsequently bought a beautiful brick and double barreled-roof building at 960 South Main Street and launched the “Next Generation of Justice Capital Campaign” to retrofit and provide furnishings, equipment, and technology infrastructure.
With a generous donation, the Florence J. Gillmor Foundation chose to name the new center after James B. Lee and the lobby after Florence J. Gillmor. A partner at Parsons Behle & Latimer, Mr. Lee was one of three original founders of Utah Legal Services, served on the Board of Legal Aid Society of Salt Lake, was instrumental in creating and sustaining “and Justice for all” and has been an example of service throughout his stellar legal career. Ms. Gillmor was a lifelong supporter of Utah’s disadvantaged and her estate has a long history of generously supporting AJFA’s civil legal programs.
We were excited to hold our grand opening in June 2023. Thank you to all our amazing donors for their support and love.
Responsible Stewardship
The remodel will keep the historical charm but incorporate environmentally sound solutions to save money, reduce energy and water usage and fulfill our commitment to a greener space.
More Accessible & Safe
The building is accessible for clients and staff with disabilities and close to the courthouse and public transportation. Seismic upgrades make the building safer in the event of another earthquake.
Designed for a post-pandemic world
The newly designed space, along with technology upgrades, will allow our staff to better participate in increasingly online client intake and hearings and serve clients from more geographic areas in less time.
Thank you to our donors
