History
In July 2002, Legal Aid of North Carolina opened its Concord/Monroe
offices as the result of the consolidation of the four, federally funded
(LSC-funded), legal services programs in North Carolina, including part
of the staff of the
Legal Services of Southern Piedmont (LSSP).
Free legal services for low-income persons has existed in the Concord
area since 1979 when Legal Service of Southern Piedmont (Charlotte)
expanded to Cabarrus County. In 1981, Legal Services of Southern Piedmont
expanded to Union and Stanly Counties. Following increased restrictions
on LSC-funded legal services programs in 1996, the legal services programs
in North Carolina created the
Legal Services
Planning Council ("Planning Council") to coordinate a comprehensive,
integrated, statewide system. In 2001, the Planning Council adopted
a plan to restructure NC legal services system, including the formation
of "Legal Aid
of North Carolina (LANC)."
Legal Aid of North Carolina (and its Concord/Monroe offices) began full operation
on July 1, 2002 as the statewide, LSC-funded, legal aid program in North
Carolina, operating in all 100 counties through 24 geographically based
offices.
