Pennsylvania Legal Aid Network

Representatives of PLAN, Inc. and from the PLAN programs consistently act as liaisons to the judiciary, at the county level and with the statewide judiciary. Judges act as impartial decision-makers in disputes before them. They also seek input from the bar, and from legal aid lawyers, in matters of importance before the Courts. Some examples of ways in which legal aid representatives interact with the Court are:
It speaks well of the legal aid system that scores of sitting judges in Pennsylvania have backgrounds of involvement in legal services, either as interns during law school, as former attorneys with local programs, or as members of their local legal aid program. Judges understand well and the work of civil legal services programs and are generally pleased when parties to a dispute are able to have representation.
