Legal Definitions - Legal Services Corporation

The Legal ServicesCorporation (LSC) is a non-profit organization established by Congress in 1974. Its purpose is to provide legal assistance to low-income individuals who cannot afford it. The LSC is funded by the government.

For example, if someone is facing eviction but cannot afford a lawyer, they can turn to the LSC for help. The LSC will provide them with a lawyer who will represent them in court.

The LSC's goal is to ensure that everyone has access to legal representation, regardless of their income level. This helps to promote fairness and equality in the justice system.
