The societys mission then. as now. was to provide free civil legal services to the needy resident of our community. Particular emphasis was placed on making access to the judicial system available for all. and on protecting the legal rights of persons unable to obtain legal assistance through other avenues. The society provides services in six major areas: The admininistrative law unit. the family law unit. the health access advocacy unit. the housing law unit. the individual rights services/immigration law unit. and the private attorney involvement project. These units deal with a diversity of issues affecting the impoverished members of Santa Clara County. In 1989. the six fulltime and two parttime attorneys. six paralegal advocates. seven support staff. and four administrative staff handled over 4.700 client cases.
