Community Legal Aid Society, Inc. (CLASI) operates as Delaware's oldest and largest civil legal aid program, with a founding date of 1946. Based in Wilmington, with offices in Dover and Georgetown, it provides free civil legal services to people with disabilities (as Delaware's designated Protection and Advocacy System), older adults, individuals with low incomes, survivors of domestic violence, immigrant victims of crime or abuse, and those facing housing discrimination. Its work helps clients secure essential rights and benefits—including housing, protection orders, healthcare, food assistance, and employment—so they can live independently and safely. Within the legal services field, CLASI is a longstanding advocate for equal justice through persistent civil advocacy that protects fundamental rights and access to basic needs. The organization operates from Wilmington and its regional offices to serve Delaware communities across the state. Recent developments include CLASI being named a Top Workplace in Delaware in 2023, reflecting external recognition of its impact and culture.
