Funding deficiencies are everywhere. Jimmy Fry, the director of Legal Services Alabama is a friend of mine, and he and the Chief Justice are absolutely correct, the lack of funding for legal services to the poor is yet another shameful practice that needs to be rectified.
Alabama Supreme Court Chief Justice Sue Bell Cobb and other officials want a permanent revenue source from the state. “It is crucial to keep all of the lawyers at work,” she said. “We are not meeting the need now.”
Cobb and Jimmy Fry, executive director of the group, said Alabama is one of only seven states that does not supply funding to Legal Services. Cobb described the situation as an embarrassment.
Legal Services Alabama provides free counsel to low-income people who are U.S. citizens. Under the terms of its general guidelines, a family of four making below $20,000, might qualify for its help.
