Students organize it. Licensed attorneys teach it.
Loudoun is one of the wealthiest counties in the country, and plenty of our neighbors still face evictions, school hearings, and immigration questions alone. Help usually exists. People just don't know where it is or what they're entitled to. We bring real attorneys into public libraries, explain the law in plain language, and connect people to free legal services.
Since April 2026, we've run 7 free workshops at 4 Loudoun libraries, reached 100+ residents, and made 20+ referrals to legal help.
Commended by the bench
Judge Matthew Snow of Virginia's Twentieth Judicial Circuit recognized KYRL in a written letter of commendation.

The people behind it
Abbas Raza
Founder and Executive Director
Abbas is a senior at Rock Ridge High School in Ashburn. He started KYRL in April 2026 after watching neighbors, families, and classmates deal with housing disputes, school discipline, and immigration questions without knowing the law was on their side. He recruits the attorneys, builds the partnerships, and is leading the expansion into Fairfax and Prince William. He plans to study political science and go on to law school.
