American Bar Association President William T. Robinson II in a statement released today praises President Obama’s $402 million Legal Services Corporation budget request, pointing out that with 63 million Americans -- including 22 million children -- qualifying for legal aid, “providers in every state report a staggering volume of requests for assistance.
