No such right exists for Arkansans facing life-altering civil legal problems such as domestic violence, child custody, and housing foreclosures.

Legal Aid in Arkansas 2013 Funding The two Arkansas legal aid programs provide critical legal services to thousands of Arkansans every year. As 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations they provide free legal services to low-income individuals residing in the state of Arkansas in civil (non-criminal) cases. With annual client case loads consistently hovering around the 15,000 mark these organizations must provide these services with efficiency and innovative methods due to limited legal aid funding. The primary funding sources for legal aid in Arkansas include: Legal Services Corporation (LSC), grants and contracts, the Public Legal Aid Fund, Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTA), donations from private bar attorneys and corporations, and other donations and partnerships. Revenue 4% of our funding came from donations by private bar attorneys and corporations. 11% of our funding came from the Arkansas IOLTA Program. Most of that amount represents distributions out of the $2 million National Mortgage Settlement fund designated for the provision of services to assist clients affected by the housing crisis. 11% of funding came from the Public Legal Aid Fund established by the Arkansas Legislature in 2005. This fund distributes a percentage of circuit court filing and case reopening fees to legal aid. 20% of funding came from grants and contracts, including anti-domestic abuse funding, IRS, United Way, Parent Counsel, Equal Justice Works, AmeriCorps, juvenile and aging funding. 54% of funding came from the federal Legal Services Corporation (LSC). LSC is a nonprofit entity established by Congress to fund free civil legal services. One of the most challenging aspects of legal aid work is to extend the impact of limited funds as efficiently and effectively as possible. The following charts show the expenditures that are used to provide the services detailed on the previous page. Expenditures 17% Support staff who provide services to further the legal aid mission, including secretarial, business management, information technology, and executive leadership 22% Operational costs for 14 offices, including rent, utilities, postage, telephone/technology, printing/copying, travel, and office equipment/maintenance 61% Attorney and paralegal salaries and benefits comprise the single largest source of expense. These 64 individuals handle client cases in legal aid offices throughout the state The Clinton School of Public Service conducted a study of the economic impact of civil legal aid in Arkansas. The study indicated that in 2013, CALS and LAA created an estimated $25 million of total economic activity in the state. The financial recoveries and avoidance of losses for legal aid clients alone totaled more than $8.6 million an amount that exceeds the cost to deliver those services by over $2.5 million.
