The Legal Council for Health Justice is a Chicago-based legal services organization that uses the law to support people facing illness or disability. It was formed by merging three leading medical-legal partnership programs to create a Midwestern hub for program and policy development. In 2015, the organization changed its name from AIDS Legal Council of Chicago.

Its work spans disability benefits, health care services, education, employment, and other publicly funded supports, with activities at federal, state, and local levels. A recent development illustrating its policy engagement is the 2024 collaboration with Access Living to survey school board candidates on disability issues and special education. Based in Chicago, Illinois, the group operates within the legal services sector with a focus on medical-legal partnerships and policy advancement in the Midwest.
