    The ABArray Legal Aid Funding Report allows users to access an online array of national civil legal aid funding data from 2003 to the present time. Collection of the national data is conducted annually beginning in the Fall of each year by the American Bar Association Standing Committee on Legal Aid and Indigent Defense (SCLAID) and its Resource Center for Access to Justice Initiatives. The ABArray interface is updated in real time as new data becomes available through the annual data collection process. See our FAQs below for guidance on how to interact with the ABArray data.
