Legal Services Corporation January 2016 – Federal Register Recent Federal Regulation Documents

The Legal Services Corporation (``LSC'') Board of Directors (``Board'') is in the process of updating LSC's strategic plan for the years 2017-2020. The LSC Board is soliciting comments on the current LSC Strategic Plan 2012-2016 and whether the current goals remain suitable and timely and if new goals should be implemented.

The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) issues this Notice describing the conditions under which Letters of Intent To Apply for Technology Initiative Grants (TIG) will be received. LSC's TIG program was established in 2000. Since that time, LSC has made 647 grants totaling more than $53 million. This grant program provides an important tool to help achieve LSC's goal of increasing the quantity and quality of legal services available to eligible persons. Projects funded under the TIG program develop, test and replicate innovative technologies that can enable grant recipients and state justice communities to improve low-income persons' access to high quality legal assistance through an integrated and well managed technology system. When submitting Letters of Intent, applicants should consider the growth and continued development of technology and the resulting effects on the practice of law, management of legal aid organizations and legal aid service delivery.
