The 2009-2010 Section Membership Application includes check-off boxes for voluntary tax-deductible contributions to the Access to Justice Fund, the Louisiana Bar Foundation and the Louisiana Center for Law and Civic Education. Please see below for additional information on each of these.

Access to JusticeThe Access to Justice Committee encourages members of the Bar to support legal services to the poor by donating to the Access to Justice Fund. Donations are used for statewide initiatives that assist with the needs of non-profit legal services providers. Funds have been distributed to help with direct legal issues related to battered spouses and their children, the disabled, defrauded consumers and the elderly, as well as to develop the technology network that allows the non-profit providers to interact and work together more effectively. The Access to Justice Committee works to support and strengthen an integrated statewide justice community. By facilitating both the proper funding of legal services providers and increased participation from the legal community, the committee helps to increase the delivery of legal services to Louisiana’s poor. For additional information, go to: http://www.lsba.org/atj.

Louisiana Bar FoundationLawyer's Challenge for ChildrenThe Louisiana Bar Foundation is a non-profit, charitable organization devoted to advancing equal justice and law-related education. The LBF established the Children’s Legal Services Fund to provide special services to our most vulnerable children. Donations supplement IOLTA funding by providing grants to children’s legal service organizations, giving children access to special education and health care services, mental health and foster care services. The fund also provides support for advocacy in administrative and legal proceedings and impacts litigation and systemic legal reform on behalf of children.
