A competitive bidding system has been adopted for all grants and contracts. and all grantees are now required to provide audited financial statements. A number of prohibitions on Legal Services grantees are in place. Any Legal Services Corporation grantee is prohibited from participating in redistricting litigation. class action suits. welfare reform advocacy. prisoner representation. lobbying. abortion litigation. illegal alien representation. and collecting attorneys fees. Last year the Congress provided for debarment of grantee organizations that violated these restrictions. All this is by way of saying that the Legal Services Corporation has gone a long way to address the concerns many had raised with some of its past practices.
