The Center for Disability & Elder Law is a Chicago-based nonprofit that provides legal services to low-income residents of Cook County who are elderly or have permanent disabilities. It notes a significant access gap in legal representation for low-income individuals, who commonly face at least one legal problem annually, with demand rising alongside demographic trends such as an aging population and higher disability rates. Most of its services are delivered pro bono by volunteer attorneys from major Chicago firms and other local organizations, while staff coordinate intake, initiatives, and training to support direct client work. The organization is located in Chicago, Illinois, at 205 West Randolph, Suite 1610, and it relies on a mix of staff and volunteers to serve its clients. In 2021, longtime board member Erin McCloskey Maus was named a Life Director, and later that year was appointed to the board as a member and Past President.
