Legal Aid Programs Cutting 350 Lawyers; LawCrossing.com Can Help
August 27, 2012
August 27, 2012 — Pasadena, CA — Cuts are happening across all industries and in all job markets these days, and the legal field is no exception. In fact, according to Legal Services Corp.--a survey group--legal aid programs will be cutting 350 lawyers in order to uphold recent budget cuts. In total, legal aid programs will be cutting more than 750 employees. These cuts have been deemed necessary due to both budget cuts and funding losses for programs all across the country. Most legal aid programs are facing cuts, something along the lines of 87%. Some are tapping into savings to keep operations afloat. Others are making huge sacrifices like cutting employees. Others are having to cut back on their services offered or are even closing up shop altogether. What's really unfortunate about this is that more people are in need of legal aid now than ever before because of the high rate of unemployment.
