Each year
Georgia Legal Services Program adopts Case Acceptance Criteria based on
the most critical legal needs that are experienced by persons with
low-incomes. Here is a link to our Case Acceptance Criteria for 2009: 2009 Case
Acceptance Criteria
The decision
to accept any specific case depends on the details of the situation and
whether the office has a lawyer available to handle the case at the time
the individual requests legal representation. Requests for assistance
always exceed the number of cases that GLSP attorneys can handle.
