OPLC has been a part of Ohio State Legal Services Association (OSLSA) for over 40 years. OSLSA is the umbrella non-profit organization that is now comprised of three separate non-profit legal organizations: 1) OPLC; 2) Southeastern Ohio Legal Services, which provides direct legal services for low-income Ohioans in 30 southeast Ohio counties; and 3) the Legal Aid Society of Columbus, which provides direct legal services to low-income Ohioans in Columbus and surrounding counties.
