Impact
DRLC’s Cancer Justice program answers legal questions for people with cancer—because cancer patients and their families deserve to have clear, accessible, and exceptional legal resources.
Founded in 1997 as the Cancer Legal Resource Center, Cancer Justice empowers people to navigate legal challenges with confidence.
Through our direct services model, Cancer Justice educates and supports cancer patients, their families, healthcare professionals and advocates on matters like maintaining employment through treatment, accessing healthcare and government benefits, taking medical leave and estate planning.

Cancer Justice provides webinars, community presentations, and workshops to help people understand the legal rights, protections, and resources that exist.
