Since it founding, NUSL has collaborated closely with both Casa Myrna Vazquez (CMV), the largest battered women's program in New England, and Greater Boston Legal Services (GBLS), the largest provider of civil legal services in Massachusetts. Beginning in 1999, we have had a formal partnership with these agencies that have received a series of grants from the Office of Victim Against Women of the Department of Justice. This partnership has been identified as a model among civil legal services grantess nationwide.
