The Boards of Directors of five more LSC-funded programs have adopted resolutions aimed at increasing the involvement of private attorneys in the delivery of legal services to their clients, bringing to 69 the total number of programs who have adopted such resolutions. The five programs are:

Indiana Legal Services
Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles
Legal Aid of Western Ohio
Lone Star Legal Aid
South Carolina Legal Services
Currently, half of all LSC-funded programs have adopted pro bono resolutions. There are approximately 24 states in which all LSC-funded programs have adopted 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."
