Preface
PREFACE I am pleased to present the 2015 edition of LSC by the Numbers: The Data Underlying Legal Aid Programs—formerly known as LSC’s Fact Book. Understanding data is critical to the work of the Legal Services Corporation. LSC by the Numbers presents national data on 2015 LSC program activity. The goal is to provide a national perspective on and overview of LSC-funded grantees’ work on behalf of low-income people seeking civil legal assistance. The report includes data on the services provided by LSC’s 134 grantees, client demographics, program staffing, expenses, and private attorney involvement (PAI). We have included trend data to show changes over time.
LSC by the Numbers reflects actual data from calendar year 2015, unless otherwise noted, with no extrapolations or estimates. The majority of the data are derived from the Grant Activity Reports that LSC grantees are required to submit each year reflecting activity in the previous calendar year. The remainder is collected from LSC grantee financial and funding records. LSC’s Strategic Plan calls for enhanced data collection, analysis, and reports to achieve the goal of maximizing the effectiveness and quality of civil legal services. To that end, LSC established an Office of Data Governance and Analysis in 2015. This office collects and analyzes data used by other funders, courts, academics, and researchers looking for reliable and comprehensive information on legal services for low-income populations. This publication is a product of their efforts to track, analyze, and report this data. We are continually seeking to improve LSC by the Numbers. Our aim is to make it a readily accessible resource for a wide audience. We are interested in your comments and suggestions for other data compilations that would be useful.

LSC-funded organizations may serve an entire state, a region within a state, or a single city or county. Many grantees maintain multiple offices, while others operate only one. Some grantees operate part-time satellite offices and run “hotlines” that provide telephone intake, advice, and referral programs to facilitate access to their services over a large geographical area.

Funding
FUNDING The Legal Services Corporation (LSC) receives an annual appropriation from Congress to provide grants to eligible nonprofit organizations delivering legal aid to low-income people. LSC awards grants through a competitive process and funds 134 legal aid organizations that serve hundreds of thousands of low-income individuals, children, families, seniors, and veterans across America. Funds are distributed on a per-capita basis according to each service area’s share of the eligible poverty population. In 2015, LSC provided $343,150,000 in funding for basic field grants.

The federal contribution to civil legal aid does not meet all of the eligible population’s legal needs; rather, it provides a foundation upon which LSC’s grantees can build. LSC grantees supplement congressional appropriations with other resources, such as state and local grants, Interest on Lawyer Trust Accounts (IOLTA) funds, grants from philanthropic foundations, and contributions from private donors. They also collaborate with a wide network of private practitioners, bar associations, law schools, access to justice commissions, and business and community organizations to expand legal services to indigent clients.

LSC grantees serve clients of all races, ethnic groups, genders, and ages. They include veterans and military families, homeowners and renters, families with children, the disabled, and the elderly. Almost 70 percent of all cases closed by LSC grantees in 2015 involved women. The majority of LSC grantee clients identified as White, non-Hispanic, and were between the ages of 36 and 59. Elder clients often require legal assistance because of special health, income, and social needs, such as accessing the government-administered benefits on which many depend for income and health care. LSC grantees served households with veterans in 44,569 cases.

LSC grantees leverage federal funding and maximize the number of clients they are able to serve by involving private attorneys in the delivery of legal services, primarily on a volunteer basis. Appropriate pro bono cases are referred to local attorneys who have agreed to represent eligible clients without charge. In 2015, the total number of pro bono cases closed by LSC grantees was 76,842, a slight decrease from 2014. In addition to in-house pro bono efforts, grantees involve private attorneys through collaborations with local bar associations. These services may be provided pro bono or by contract for a reduced fee. Often private attorneys receive reduced-fee cases in exchange for a commitment to accept pro bono referrals. Private attorneys assist grantees by taking cases, acting as co-counsel in complex cases, providing information and advice at clinics, providing hotline advice, training staff, helping with transactional work (real estate, wills, and estates), and in a variety of other ways. LSC grantees closed more than 90,000 cases with the involvement of private attorneys in 2015.

Staffing
STAFFING LSC grantees are independent nonprofit organizations and hire their own staff. Grantee staff members are not employed by LSC and are not government employees. In 2015, the number of attorneys, paralegals, and other staff positions in LSC-funded legal service organizations increased.
30 LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION n 2015 LSC BY THE NUMBERS
In previous reports, LSC did not include the labor of part-time employees to calculate the full-time equivalent (FTE) workforce. For this report, LSC has adopted a new method more closely aligned with definitions used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Internal Revenue Service. For the new FTE calculation, all staff who work 35 hours/week or more for the entire year are counted as a single FTE. For staff who work less than 35 hours/week or less than a full year, their time is counted as a percentage of a full-time employee. This method results in a total FTE count that is slightly higher than previous years’ reports. Also note that current Grantee Activity Reports do not distinguish between volunteer staff and staff for whom no salary is reported; therefore, LSC included all reported staff for the new FTE calculation. We are modifying our reporting requirements to identify volunteer staff in future reports.

Totals by gender are not equal to the totals of Age and Race/Ethnicity because a few programs were not able to provide complete information. “Group Clients” are groups, corporations, associations, or other entities that are composed of individuals who are financially eligible for LSC-funded legal assistance or responsible for the delivery of services to those persons in the community. 15

The total number of veteran and non-veteran households is less than the totals by race/ethnicity and age, because not all programs were able to complete statistics on veteran status of client households. LSC counts a household as veteran if any member of that household is a veteran.
PRIVATE ATTORNEY INVOLVEMENT 17
“Pro Bono Cases Closed” include pro bono co-counsel cases, other pro bono cases, sub-grant pro-bono cases closed, and inhouse pro bono cases closed. “Contract/Judicare Cases Closed” include judicare/reduced fee panel cases, contract volume case services cases, contract individual cases, compensated co-counsel cases closed, and other compensated cases closed. “Other PAI Cases Closed” include other co-counsel cases, lawyer referral services, and other cases closed. “Attorneys Accepting Referrals” include the attorney accepting referrals of co-counsel pro bono cases, other pro bono cases, pro bono cases, in-house pro bono cases, sub-grant pro bono cases, judicare/reduced fee panel cases, contract volume case services cases, contract individual cases, compensated co-counsel cases, and other compensated cases. Private Attorney Involvement (PAI) is an LSC program to involve private attorneys (those not working for an LSC grantee) in the delivery of legal services to low-income clients eligible for LSC-funded legal assistance. As provided in 45 C.F.R. §1614, LSC grantees are required to devote at least 12.5% of Basic Field-General Funding to this method of delivery of legal services. Pro Bono—PAI programs in which attorneys are recruited and assisted to provide legal services to eligible clients without compensation. Compensated—PAI programs in which attorneys are compensated at a reduced rate to provide legal services to eligible clients, usually either: (1) by contract with the grantee program under which an attorney receives a reduced fee either for a single case or for a set number of cases; or (2) a member of a “Judicare” panel where all private attorneys who practice in the service area are invited to participate. Attorneys may elect on a case-by-case basis whether to take a client. Under some models, clients may choose among panel attorneys, while under others panel attorneys are assigned by rotation. 18
The percentage change of the proportion of total cases closed is calculated by obtaining the difference in the proportion of pro bono cases closed over the total cases closed from the more recent year and the prior year amount. This is then divided by the proportion of pro bono cases closed over the total cases closed of the prior year. The total is multiplied by 100 to find the percentage difference.

OTHER SERVICES 19
These numbers are limited to measured observations reported to LSC and exclude estimated numbers also reported to LSC. Unlike CSR cases, these services are not eligibility checked, although they are targeted to and promoted among the client-eligible population. A CSR case is defined as the provision of permissible legal assistance to an eligible client with a legal problem, or set of closely related legal problems, accepted for assistance in accordance with the requirements of the LSC Act, regulations, and other applicable law.  
STAFFING 20
The number of employees across all tables in the Staffing section are full-time equivalent (FTE) staff, which is calculated as equivalent of working 35 or more hrs./week. The total for attorneys includes all attorneys on staff, including the small number of attorneys serving in non-attorney positions (e.g. management professionals who are attorneys). 21

For example, the adjusted deflator in 2015 dollars for 2009 = 1.1056 (OMB 2015 deflator) / 1.0000 (OMB 2009 deflator) = 1.10560.
