P.L.A. warns about the Washington Legal Foundation:
The WFL will spend hundeds of thousands of dollars to litigate a $20 case to the Supreme Court of the United States if doing so provides an opportunity to “deal a death blow” to a program that allows poor people access to justice.
That is WFL’s idea of promoting “the principles of freedom and justice.” WFL apparently believes that we cannot have a “balanced criminal and civil justice system” unless we prevent poor people from obtaining legal representation.
