CBJC's core efforts include immigration projects, Cancer Advocacy and Elderlaw Projects, Consumer Bankruptcy Project, Foreclosure Project, Legal Clinic for the Homeless, LGBT Advocacy Project, Neighborhood Entrepreneur Law Project, Planning and Estates Law project, Veterans Assistance Project, and the Legal Hotline.

Each year, CBJC leverages $18 to $20 million in pro bono services. 827530 7000 Cyrus Vance Center for International Justice supports a global movement to engage private and public lawyers to promote access to justice; professional responsibility; a culture of democracy; institutional fairness and transparency; law reforms; equality of opportunity; and a legal profession that reflects diverse ideas and perspectives.
