Mr. Chairman, this certainly is a concern for the Department of Justice. Access to justice is one of our sort of critical issues and one of the things we are working towards. A couple of things that we are doing to try to enhance services, short of in addition to hiring lawyers that we need, is to expand the role of court workers so they can provide more services in the communities to people, short of when they do need the lawyer. That may often reduce the need for a lawyer. We have a poverty lawyer on staff now. We are looking at expanding the role of that person and moving towards having them actually go into communities to work with people and help them with their legal issues.
We are moving. Maybe we are not moving as fast as we would like, but we are very aware of the need to get services to the communities and to make all legal services more accessible. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
