January 2003
This article on diversity originally appeared in the premiere issue of LSC's Equal Justice Magazine, published in the spring of 2002. The article discusses Legal Services Corporation's (LSC) efforts to offer equal opportunity for all in a society that is growing more diverse every day. The article describes LSC's 2001 examination of diversity issues affecting legal services and the role this initiative has played in the delivery of quality legal services to low-income Americans. At the heart of this national initiative is a concerted push to attract and retain the legal services leaders of tomorrow. The article goes on to provide specific examples of how legal aid offices around the country are responding to the dramatic cultural changes taking place in their own backyards.
