I have spoken to various groups throughout WV on lawyer assistance - what the volunteer committee can do; as well as how our volunteere committee persevered and after several years got the Supreme Court to set up a funded LAP. Bar members in states without funded LAPs may benefit from hearing me, as I could describe what we did in WV and 'inspire' you to do the same in your state.
