The Boards of Directors of six more LSC-funded programs--Coast to Coast Legal Aid of South Florida, Legal Services Law Line of Vermont, New Center for Legal Advocacy (Mass.), Blue Ridge Legal Services (Va.), Mississippi Center for Legal Services, and Utah Legal Services--have adopted resolutions aimed at increasing the involvement of private attorneys in the delivery of legal services to their clients, bringing to 17 the number of LSC-funded programs who have adopted such resolutions.

LSC is encouraging all program Boards of Directors to adopt pro bono resolutions modeled after one adopted by LSC's Board in April 2007. Urging programs to adopt local resolutions is a key element of LSC's private attorney involvement action plan, entitled "Help Close the Justice Gap, Unleash the Power of Pro Bono."
