Legal Help for the Poor
The American Bar Association strongly agrees that our nation must expand access to justice for low-income Americans (“Addressing the Justice Gap,” editorial, Aug. 24).
However, a rush to open the practice of law to unschooled, unregulated nonlawyers is not the solution. This would cause grave harm to clients. Even matters that appear simple, such as uncontested divorces, involve myriad legal rights and responsibilities. If the case is not handled by a professional with appropriate legal training, a person can suffer serious long-term consequences affecting loved ones or financial security. It also could lead to a violation of the law.
The A.B.A. believes that more funding is needed for legal assistance for the poor. The Legal Services Corporation, which provides core funding for the legal aid system, deserves the full appropriation ($450 million) proposed by the president.
hahahaha full appropriation is 0.019% of total U.S. revenue last year.
Legal Aid offices are seriously necessary. Legal help should not be solely for the wealthy.

Sobering map from ACLU Nationwide: those red states? NO ONE IN THESE STATES can get an insurance plan that covers abortion. Yellow states? NO ONE IN THESE STATES *will* be able to. Tell your Senators to stop these attacks. (Via National Network of Abortion Funds)
