    The Legal Services Corporation provides quality legal assistance for
    noncriminal proceedings to those who would otherwise be unable to afford
    such assistance.

    The Legal Services Corporation is a private, nonprofit organization
    established by the Legal Services Corporation Act of 1974, as amended
    (42 U.S.C. 2996), to provide financial support for legal assistance in
    noncriminal proceedings to persons financially unable to afford legal
    services.
        The Corporation is governed by an 11-member Board of Directors,
    appointed by the President with the advice and consent of the Senate.
    Each member serves for a term of 3 years, except that

    five of the members first appointed--as designated by the President at
    the time of appointment--serve 2-year terms. The President of the
    Corporation, appointed by the Board of Directors, is the chief executive
    officer of the Corporation and serves as an ex officio member of the
    Board of Directors.
        The Corporation provides financial assistance to qualified programs
    furnishing legal assistance to eligible clients and makes grants to and
    contracts with individuals, firms, corporations, and organizations for
    the purpose of providing legal assistance to these clients.
        The Corporation establishes maximum income levels for clients based
    on family size, urban and rural differences, and cost-of-living
    variations. Using these maximum income levels and other financial
    factors, the Corporation's recipient programs establish criteria to
    determine the eligibility of clients and priorities of service based on
    an appraisal of the legal needs of the eligible client community.
