Welcome to the LSC Resource Information, the virtual home for LSC Resource Information (LRI). This project stems from a commitment to meet LSC's Strategic Goals as established in LSC's Strategic Directions 2000-2005 and adopted by LSC Board of Directors in January 28, 2000.  LSC's Strategic Directions 2006-2010, adopted by the LSC board in January 2006, state a commitment to meet two of LSC's Strategic Goals: increase public awareness of and support for civil legal services to low-income persons in order to respond appropriately to more of their legal needs and also enhance the quality and compliance of legal services programs.  Encouraging the cross-fertilization of good ideas is an important step to increase access and ensure appropriate high-quality legal assistance.
