The Southwest Center for Asian Pacific American Law (SCAPAL) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) law center formed to advocate for the rights of those who do not have adequate access to or understanding of our legal system. 

SCAPAL provides legal assistance and guidance about the law through advocacy, research and policy analysis, and education.  Our efforts focus primarily on educating the San Diego's Asian Pacific Islander community on empowering them on their legal rights.
