Founded in 1981, The Minnesota Legal Services Coalition (MLSC) is an association of seven Minnesota regional legal services programs. Formed to enhance cooperation and coordination, MLSC supports the regional programs that help low-income Minnesotans with a broad range of civil legal matters.

The associated programs are

• Judicare of Anoka County,
• Anishinabe Legal Services,
• Legal Aid Service of Northeastern Minnesota (LASNEM),
• Legal Services of Northwest Minnesota, Inc. (LSNM),
• Southern Minnesota Regional Legal Services, Inc. (SMRLS), 
• Mid-Minnesota Legal Assistance (MMLA), and
• Central Minnesota Legal Services (CMLS).

MLSC's mission is to

• prevent wasteful duplication of effort,
• assist field staff in identifying emerging issues affecting clients, and
• keep program advocates trained and informed about legal matters that impact the legal rights of low-income people in Minnesota.
