About Legal Agenda

The Legal Agenda (LA) is a Beirut-based nonprofit research and advocacy organization with offices in Lebanon and Tunisia and a community of supporters across the Arab world. In 2009, a group of legal professionals, scholars, and human rights activists joined efforts to render legal matters more accessible to the broader Arab audiences. Empowered with the right knowledge and tools, Arab societies carve their path toward social justice, freedom, and equality.
