 We have exciting news! Since its inception in the year 2000, LAPTOP has operated as a project of the Pennsylvania Coalition Against Domestic Violence. In October of 2006, LAPTOP established itself as a separate organization, with a new name: The Center for Survivor Agency and Justice.
The Center for Survivor Agency and Justice is a national organization dedicated to enhancing advocacy for survivors of oppression-based intimate partner violence. We strive to meet this goal by cultivating a community of attorneys and advocates who are skilled in survivor-centered advocacy and capable of meeting the entire spectrum of civil legal assistance needs of survivors through their own advocacy and in partnership with others. The Center for Survivor Agency and Justice will continue to serve as a technical assistance provider for the network of over 200 Legal Assistance for Victims (LAV) grantees across the nation. In future years, we will expand our vision to include all advocates and to encompass all types of oppression-based interpersonal violence. We look forward to drawing upon our substantial network of grassroots advocates and national experts to forge new ground within the movement. As we take this work to the next level, we are committed to maintaining our survivor-centered focus, instilled by our movement leader and project founder, Barbara J. Hart.
The Center for Survivor Agency and Justice seeks to facilitate the critical work that attorneys and advocates perform on behalf of survivors. Our goal is to enhance the capacity of attorneys and advocates working with survivors across the nation through partnership and networking. 
The CSAJ accomplishes this goal through:
• Individualized Technical Assistance
• The CSAJ Listserv
• Bi-Monthly Teleconferences
• National Institutes
• CSAJ's Newsletter, The Advocate's Quarterly
• Written Products
• On-Site Consultations
