Expanding Access to Employment Claims for Marginalized Workers
Open Door Legal is pioneering the nation's first model of universal access to civil legal aid in order to dramatically reduce poverty. They provide services in 35+ areas of civil law and can solve complex legal issues that span multiple practice areas as well as deter illegal conduct. From an employment law perspective, the current system for low-income workers to recover lost wages by filing claims through the Division of Labor Standards and Enforcement (DLSE) is broken. Open Door Legal's employment law team has pioneered an innovative alternate use of small claims court instead of the DLSE: we can coach workers to represent themselves and get enforceable judgments against bad employers in as little as two months. Open Door Legal is ready to expand this practice to reach more workers across the State of California.
