dedicated to making legal aid accessible to all citizens.
https://t.co/cTc0Rn9yrF WASHINGTON The Justice Department has effectively shuttered an Obama-era office dedicated to making legal aid accessible to all citizens, according to two people familiar with the situation. --- R.I.P.

Under Mr. Holder, the Justice Department filed so-called statements of interest in dozens of local lawsuits around the country alleging that poor citizens had received substandard legal services. He also supported a class-action lawsuit against Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo and the State of New York for violating the rights of people who could not afford to hire lawyers. --- R.I.P.

Wait... don't people already have a right to an attorney, to be provided by the state if they can't afford one? What did this office actually do?
EDIT: Also the entire staff was a dozen people, which means it probably only served, what... 6 or 7 lawyers? How many cases could they possible have helped? --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz. The Three Beats Of War, Peace And Revolution Continue On Forever." - Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz ...

The offices stated mission was to deliver outcomes that are fair and accessible to all, irrespective of wealth and status. It worked with other federal, state and local entities in the justice system to increase access to counsel and legal assistance for people who could not afford lawyers. s0nicfan posted...

Honestly I'd much rather people take states to task for failing to provide constitutional rights to their citizens than to create extra agencies for the sole purpose of filling in the cracks. It's like California creating a legal loophole to let you donate your taxes to avoid the write off cap because otherwise their taxes are too high when they could just, you know, lower their taxes. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.
