Poverty law is a body of law that focuses on the rights and remedies afforded to impoverished individuals and families. The purpose of poverty law is to free people from poverty with justice, equality, and opportunity for all.

They are responsible to listen to the communities they serve, be accountable to them, and be a good steward. They defend people’s rights and made progress toward a just, equitable, and society.
