ABA Resources: Legal Services Corporation
The ABA strongly supports a significant funding increase for the Legal Services Corporation. The goal for ABA Day (and beyond) is to gain or reinforce the Member’s support for LSC, and to get their commitment to sign a letter in support of LSC’s funding increase and to actively work on behalf of LSC funding throughout the appropriations process.
