In case you missed it: our CEO, Linda Harradine, was on ABC7 this week discussing the work we do at Legal Aid of Manasota and why it's so crucial to keeping our community strong. Click through to hear Linda discuss: ✔️ What it means for a small nonprofit like Legal Aid of Manasota to lose $172,000 in public funding after providing free civil legal services to low-income residents for 33 years. ✔️ Why cutting public funds at a time when our residents are facing eviction or foreclosure due to Hurricane Debby is devastating to our community—and how these types of cases are growing. ✔️ A special donor who stepped up by donating $100,000 to help bridge the gap in public funding. ✔️ Who needs civil legal services—and why they may not be who you think ✔️ How the justice system suffers when there is no legal aid and the impact on our courts, judges, attorneys and clients. ✔️ Why we need your support now more than ever! https://lnkd.in/eNEP2CXd

Interesting article on Co-ops success in the legal services business - wills, probate and estate planning. A big part of this is attributed to partnerships: "Partnerships are another key plank of CLS’s strategy and in added more than 10 in 2023, including Saga, the Co-operative Bank and Central Co-op – neither of which are owned by the Co-operative Group – and Barnardo’s, Co-op’s charity partner." Having been involved in a number of legal services partnerships over the years, lots of opportunity to innovate still exists in this market. Customer proposition and brand fit are key to success. https://lnkd.in/e8hHiqNN

Quote of the day: “'We will not be able to get everybody full-service, full legal representation for all of their legal needs,' said Jennifer Leitch, executive director of the National Self-Represented Litigants Project (NSRLP) during a webinar held on the first day of Access to Justice Week.” This is why alternatives like JusticeAccess are so important. We can help where an individual's legal needs don't require full service legal help. Your donation today will help build our capacity to help even more. Remember, if you make a monthly donation, you'll be among the first to know when our not-an-advice-columnist Roger posts a new InterRogerTory and answer! Donate at justiceaccess.org, and to make a monthly donation, just click on the "monthly" tab in the donate box. Quotation source: https://lnkd.in/eB9dJq6C
