Documenting the Justice Gap in America

In 2005, the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) released Documenting the Justice Gap in America: The Current Unmet Civil Legal Needs of Low-Income Americans, a report that concludes at least 80 percent of the civil legal needs of low-income Americans are not being met.

The report was a culmination of a year-long study by LSC to document the extent to which current civil legal needs of low-income Americans are not being met, taking into account all the changes in the civil justice system in the last decade, including both LSC-funded services and non-federal resources.
