AG Weiser and AG Jackson co-led a bipartisan coalition of 40 attorneys general across the country, in urging Congress to keep in place critical funding for the Legal Services Corporation, or LSC. In a letter to the chairs and ranking members of the House and Senate Appropriations Committees and the House and Senate Subcommittees on Commerce, Justice, Science, and Related Agencies, Weiser and the other attorneys general called on Congress to continue LSC’s critical mission of providing legal assistance to people in rural communities, veterans and military families, domestic violence survivors, older adults victimized by scams and fraud, and any others who might struggle to afford an attorney in civil legal matters.

“In America, access to justice must be available to all—not just the rich, powerful, and well-connected. Thousands of Coloradans rely on organizations funded by the Legal Services Corporation, including Colorado Legal Services, to access legal help when they need it most. I’m pleased that, just as they have in years past, a broad, bipartisan group of attorneys general are joining together to tell Congress not to let this important funding lapse.”- AG Weiser
