The Tennessee Justice Center (TJC) is a non-profit[1][3] public policy advocacy organization[2] and law firm based in Nashville, Tennessee. It was established in 1996 to represent approximately 1.3 million Tennessee low-income families by helping shape public policy[2] and through class action lawsuits. In 1996, the United States Congress had ordered that federally funded legal services programs no longer pursue class actions.[4] Since its formation, the Tennessee Justice Center has helped thousands of poor families secure needed health care, assistance, and food aid.[5]
