The Legal Services Corporation provides quality legal assistance for
noncriminal proceedings to those who would otherwise be unable to afford
such assistance.
The Legal Services Corporation is a private, nonprofit organization
established by the Legal Services Corporation Act of 1974, as amended
(42 U.S.C. 2996), to provide financial support for legal assistance in
noncriminal proceedings to persons financially unable to afford legal
services.
The Corporation is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors,
appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
Each member serves for a term of 3 years, except that

five of the members first appointed--as designated by the President at
the time of appointment--serve 2-year terms. The President of the
Corporation, appointed by the Board of Directors, is the chief executive
officer of the Corporation and serves as an ex officio member of the
Board of Directors.
The Corporation provides financial assistance to qualified programs
furnishing legal assistance to eligible clients and makes grants to and
contracts with individuals, firms, corporations, and organizations for
the purpose of providing legal assistance to these clients.
The Corporation establishes maximum income levels for clients based
on family size, urban and rural differences, and cost-of-living
variations. Using these maximum income levels and other financial
factors, the Corporation's recipient programs establish criteria to
determine the eligibility of clients and priorities of service based on
an appraisal of the legal needs of the eligible client community.
