The function of the Legal Aid Society, as its name implies, is to provide clients unable to afford the services of lawyers with unpaid support. The members of the society are recognized by the courts and may plead their cases as though admitted to the Bar.

Offices are held at Central Square which, being the most congested district of Cambridge, is the most favorable location for the people of small means seeking aid in legal matters These, however, do not make up the entire clientele as students of the University are also entitled to assistance, which is given free of charge on all occasions.

The organization had its origin in a small group of Law School students brought together in 1893 by Professor Eugene Wambaugh '76, who has since retired from the Faculty of the Law School.
