From 1994 to 2024: Celebrating 30 Years of Justice for all

For three decades, the Clinic has dedicated itself to serving the legal needs of underprivileged Hoosiers. On April 12, 1992, Pastor Frank Kik gave a Palm Sunday sermon proposing Tabernacle Presbyterian Church’s (or “TAB”) expansion of its outreach into the city of Indianapolis through various ministries. Six attorneys felt inspired by Pastor Kik’s sermon and founded the Clinic in 1994. The organization was created to address the pressing community need for greater access to legal services in underserved communities. Grounded in faith and a strong sense of purpose, the Clinic’s founders passionately worked to nurture its growth, pushing it to become the legal aid agency it is today. The Clinic continues to offer essential legal aid through our 6 unique program areas.
