ABA Day 2012 Issues
Each year, specific issues are chosen to be the primary focus of our Hill Visits during ABA Day. Three issues have been selected for ABA Day 2012. We will be providing webinars for state captains to go over these issues before ABA Day, which state captains will be notified of. The ABA Day 2012 Issues are:
Legal Services Corporation funding: support increased funding for the civil legal services provided through the Legal Services Corporation.
The Court Fee Intercept Act: support of the Court Fee Intercept Act, which would authorize the Department of the Treasury to intercept federal income tax refunds to satisfy court debts and victim restitution.
Violence Against Women Act (VAWA): support for reauthorization of VAWA, the federal law aimed at ending violence against women and remedying the laws and social practices that have fostered violence against women, and for the legal services provided through VAWA.
