Session Evaluation​​​This session is designed to build on the workshops we have done for the past few years on how to explain legal aid as constituent services to legislators and staff. Many LSC grantees and other legal aid programs have begun to develop relationships with federal and state legislators and staff; we want to identify ways to build on and expand those connections, e.g., provide training for district caseworkers and involve legislative staff in community outreach efforts.
