The Medical-Legal Partnership Project (MLPP) is a medical-legal collaborative designed to improve the health and welfare of low-income children and their families. Proactive legal assistance is provided in a health care setting to make legal services easily accessible. The MLPP provides traditional legal representation with a comprehensive approach to the health care needs of an individual child, and advocates for children's health on a systemic level.

Center for Children's Advocacy established the Medical-Legal Partnership Project in 2000. The first office opened on-site at Connecticut Children's Medical Center (CCMC) and services quickly expanded to the Charter Oak Health Center and Community Health Services, federally qualified health clinics serving two of Hartford's poorest neighborhoods. An additional office is on-site at Saint Francis Hospital & Medical Center, and legal services are provided at The Hospital of Central Connecticut and the Burgdorf/Bank of America Health Center. Together, these primary care centers provide health care to the great majority of the poor children who receive pediatric services in the Greater Hartford area.
