 FEATURES
The Advocate President
In naming Helaine M. Barnett the leader of the national legal services program, the LSC Board turned to an advocate with 37 years of hands-on experience serving the poor in the Big Apple. The public interest legal community celebrates the hiring of one of its own—a crisis-tested leader whose empathy for clients runs deep. ( 327k)
Not Grand Standing

A Question of Quality
It is not enough merely to offer legal services. In an era of scarce resources, advocates must assure the provision of high-quality help. Introducing the QUALITY MATRIX, a new service model to help providers (and funders) get the most bang for their legal aid buck. ( 800k)
Chief Concern
Inspirational quotes. Hurried drives across a vast state. One-on-one interviews with clients. Karla Gray, Chief Justice of the Montana Supreme Court, will stop at nothing to make one “impossible dream” come true. ( 891k)
