SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As an entity created and funded by Congress, LSC has a duty to the American people to pursue its fundamental mission of equal access to justice. With this primary goal in mind, the LSC Board adopted a plan in 2012 setting forth the strategic goals that would guide LSC for five years, ending in 2016. The LSC Board is now in the process of updating and revising the strategic plan for an additional four year period. As part of this process, the LSC Board is seeking input from the public and interested stakeholders on whether the goals articulated in the current LSC strategic plan for 2012–2016, which is available at https://www.lsc.gov/sites/default/files/ LSC/lscgov4/LSC_Strategic_Plan_20122016-Adopted_Oct_2012.pdf, are still suitable and timely and whether new goals, if any, should be considered. A summary of the goals follows. The first and primary goal listed in the LSC strategic plan for 2012–2016 is to maximize the availability, quality, and effectiveness of the civil legal services that LSC’s grantees provide to eligible low-income individuals. LSC identifies three avenues through which it can best accomplish this goal: (1) Identifying and replicating best practices associated with delivering high quality civil legal assistance to the poor by its grantees; (2) promoting the development and implementation of technologies that maximize the availability of legal information and assistance; and (3) expanding the availability of civil legal assistance through the most effective use of pro bono services and other private resources by LSC’s grantees. The second goal listed in the LSC strategic plan for 2012–2016 is to become a leading voice for civil legal services for poor Americans by providing national leadership and opportunities for collaboration with others committed to promoting civil legal services, including other funders of legal aid, governmental agencies, and judicial systems throughout the country.
