The economy may be in a recession, but that doesn’t mean that injustice is. Everyday, thousands of individuals are left without a voice because they do not have access to legal aid. Despite a recent influx of over $40 million in federal funding to legal aid providers, those providers are only able to assist approximately one-half of the eligible clients seeking their help.

Law Clerk Connection hopes to improve this dismal statistic by partnering with non-profit organizations, pro-bono attorneys and low/no-cost legal services attorneys. (more…)
