Legal Action of Wisconsin, Inc. (Legal Action) developed a Legal Action Priority Plan for 2006 to assist its board of directors, local community advisory committees and staff in allocating resources to provide the most economical and effective delivery of legal assistance to persons throughout Legal Action's service area. The Priority Plan is based on the suggested priorities promulgated by the Legal Services Corporation; an appraisal of the needs of eligible clients in the geographic area served by Legal Action; the resources of Legal Action; the availability of other free or low-cost legal assistance or other advocacy services in particular categories of cases or matters; the availability of other sources of training, support, and outreach services; the relative importance of particular legal problems to Legal Action's client community; the general effect of the resolution of particular categories of cases or matters on Legal Action's client community; the susceptibility of particular problems to solutions through the legal process; whether legal efforts by Legal Action will complement other efforts to solve particular problems in Legal Action's service area; and whether legal efforts will result in the efficient and economic delivery of legal services. The Legal Action Priority Plan is a result of prior and current priority-setting processes.
