We respond to all enquiries within 48 business hours. Urgent legal matters should be communicated by phone for faster triage.
Do you handle cases outside Abuja?
Yes. Through our mobile clinic network and partner organisations, we handle cases across all 36 states and the FCT.
Can organisations partner with CJED?
Absolutely. We welcome partnerships with NGOs, law firms, academic institutions, government agencies, and international development organisations.
Do you accept pro-bono lawyers?
Yes, we actively recruit volunteer lawyers and paralegals to expand our service delivery. Contact us with the subject line 'Volunteer'.
