The Cancer Legal Resource Center (CLRC): Toll Free #: 1-866-THE-CLRC   
The Cancer Legal Resource Center (CLRC) is a community-based joint program of the Disability Rights Legal Center and Loyola Law School. The CLRC provides free and confidential information and resources on cancer-related legal issues to people with cancer, their families, friends, employers, health care professionals, and others coping with cancer. A cancer diagnosis can carry with it a variety of potential legal issues, including insurance coverage, employment discrimination, health care, child custody, and estate planning. These legal issues can cause people unnecessary worry, confusion, and stress, and can be overwhelming. When these legal issues are not addressed, people may find themselves surviving the disease, only to find that they have lost their homes, jobs, insurance, or families.
