In in re Evans. the Montana Legal Services Association obtained a judgment that a preoperation was disabled for purposes of receiving SSI and disability benefits because he/she was "unable to engage in substantial gainful activity due to the severe emotional trauma she has experienced." In Stevenson against Stevenson. the Legal Aid Society of Louisville successfully sued to establish the principle that a mothers lesbianism is not sufficient grounds for changing the custody of a child. On Cape Cod. the Native Americans Rights Fund sued for the return of a large sector in the State of Massachusetts to the Indians. And in the District of Columbia. the migrant legal action program went to court to challenge the Secretary of Labors failure to promulgate OSHA regulations for farm labor. Almost all of the activities outlined above are directly federally funded by grants from the Legal Services Corporation. But the Clearinghouse Review. which is published and funded by the Corporation. also performs a very controversial function as a bulletin board for radical activism.
