Many remained in the communities where they served. joining the staff of the legal aid office. continuing the fight for quality legal services for the indigent. But their clients were not simply poorhow simple that would have been. No. their clients were often illiterate and unskilled. they were old and disabled. they were migrants in poor health and mental patients trapped in institutions. they were welfare mothers without a decent education. and they were Juvenile offenders who needed a second chance. Obviously the problems of poverty are not so simple that they can be alleviated with the help of a legal aid attorney. But VISTA realized this. and over the last 20 years has assigned other willing volunteers to address the myriad of related problems that lowincome people face.
