The Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention (OJJDP) is presenting a Juvenile Justice Practices Series to provide the field with updated research, promising practices, and tools for a variety of juvenile justice areas. These Bulletins are important resources for youth-serving professionals involved in developing and adopting juvenile justice policies and programs, regardless of their funding sources. This second Bulletin in the series examines access to legal counsel in the juvenile justice system. OJJDP supports the development and adoption of policies and programs that: Provide access to quality (not cursory) legal counsel for all youth in the juvenile justice system.

Late in 1933, the National Consumer Law Center approached the Administration onAging for funding to launch a two-year demonstration project to train and support attorneys, non-attorney housing advocates and social service providers to recognize and respond to foreclosure threats to elderly homeowners. Massachusetts foreclosure rates had reached crisis proportions. The objectives of this intervention were to forestall or prevent loss of housing, help with relocation if needed, and intervene early to counsel and educate vulnerable older Americans on their rights as homeowners, helping them identify resources before loss of shelter threatened their continued independence.

The goal of this initiative was to improve the quality and accessibility of legalassistance for vulnerable older Americans with consumer and utility problems. The focus was on crises which threatened the financial independence and sense of security to those most vulnerable to loss of independence-the poor, women, minority, and rural elderly. NCLC identified those involved in the delivery of legal services to the elderly in order to develop contacts with them and provide them with high quality technical expertise and resources to improve their capacity to successfully address legal and financial problems (and consequent physical and emotional problems) arising out of fraudulent and/or unaffordable consumer transactions and unmangeable energy burdens. Dissemination of new and old publications was its forte. They included; monographs on energy issues, newsletters, articles, consumer and energy publications, manuals, brochures, Energy Studies, and Reports, Training Modules and Outlines, books, guides to counseling families in financial distress, Repossessions and Foreclosures, Credit Discrimination, The Cost of Credit, Reverse Mortgages, Credit Insurance, House-Rich Elderly, Utilities, Energy and the Poor, Weatherization, Low-Income Advocate, Water Rates, Foreclosure Prevention, etc.

This is the Legal Services Corporation (LSC) Office of Inspector General semiannual report to the Congress for the period October 1, 2008-March 31, 2009. The LSC is a private, non-membership, nonprofit corporation in the District of Columbia. The Board of Directors of LSC is composed of eleven voting members who are appointed by the President of the United States with the advice and consent of the Senate. By law, the Board is bipartisan: no more than six members can be of the same political party. LSC plays a central role in providing low-income Americans with access to legal assistance and information concerning critical civil legal problems. Created in 1974, LSC is charged by Congress to provide equal access to the system of justice in our Nation for individuals who seek redress of grievances and to provide high quality legal assistance to those who would otherwise be unable to afford adequate legal counsel.
