Jim Harbaugh wants justice!

We've seen him demand it on the sidelines and now he's taking his fight and passion to the courtroom.

Monday, the University of Michigan head football coach spent the day inside a Genesee County courtroom, assisting Judge Kay Behm as a court clerk.

Harbaugh says about 80 percent of low income people go without lawyers and proper legal aid.

Because of that, he's joined a group trying to raise awareness for the lack of good legal aid in impoverished communities.

Last week, Harbaugh was in our nation's capitol to speak on behalf of the legal services corporation at a congressional hearing.
