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 firm commitment to actively work on behalf of LSC funding throughout the appropriations process. Senators should be asked to sign the annual letter circulated by Senator Kennedy in support of a funding increase.
