The Justice Gap: The Unmet Civil Legal Needs of Low-income Americans<\/strong> — from the Legal Services Corporation<\/p>\n

Legal Services Corporation\u2019s 2022 Justice Gap Report<\/strong><\/a> provides a comprehensive look at the differences between the civil legal needs of low-income Americans and the resources available to meet those needs. LSC\u2019s study found that low-income Americans do not get the help they need for 92% of their civil legal problems, even though 74% of low-income households face at least one civil legal issue in a single year.<\/p>\n

The consequences that result from a lack of appropriate counsel can be life-altering \u2013 low-income Americans facing civil legal problems can lose their homes, children and healthcare, among other things. Help can be hard to access, so LSC is working to bridge this \u201cjustice gap\u201d by providing pro bono civil legal aid for those in need. Find out more about LSC\u2019s work to ensure equal justice for all by tuning in to the rest of the Justice Gap video series.<\/p>\n
