These organizations provide direct assistance to underserved Somerset County residents. The Foundation also provides scholarships to Somerset County law students and works with the New Jersey State Bar Foundation to organize the Vincent J. Apruzzese High School Mock Trial Competition. The Foundation also hosts Law Day, which is a law-related education program that is open to the public and has covered a variety of important and timely topics.
