Legal Aid of Cambodia (LAC) is a non-governmental, independent, Khmer-administered, non-profit and non-political organization founded in 1995. LAC’s mission is to provide free, quality legal services to and advocate for Cambodia’s poor in both criminal and civil cases. LAC is one of the few non-governmental legal aid organizations in Cambodia to maintain a significant, permanent presence in rural Cambodia where 80% of the population resides. LAC maintains offices in ten different locations. The head office in Phnom Penh also includes three specialized programs: the Child Justice Program, the Land Law Program, and the Women’s Justice Program. LAC is supported by donors from the international community based inside and outside of the country. The two largest donors are Oxfam Novib and the Open Society Institute.
