Education

In addition to providing legal counsel and representation to clients in need, the AIDS Legal Council of Chicago offers training and educational programs to help protect the rights of persons with HIV. ALCC is the primary source in Illinois for information on HIV-related legal issues and conducts more than 75 trainings annually on topics ranging from testing and confidentiality to estate planning and immigration.

     
 
There is nothing more empowering than knowing the facts and what your rights are.
