Quasi-Legal Institute
QUASI-LEGAL INSTITUTE
INCORPORATED
We are an independent research initiative committed to investigating and exposing quasi-legal systems of power. Through public-interest reports and civic innovation, we advance reform for a more transparent and just democracy.

Have You Faced Injustice, Hardship, or Abuse of Power?

We’re collecting real stories about poverty, housing, incarceration, discrimination, unemployment, and more. Submissions are anonymous unless you request otherwise.
