In designing state plans, LSC instructed its programs to collaborate with a range of local, state, and national stakeholders, including state and local bar associations, Interest On Lawyers Trust Account (IOLTA) administrators, state judiciaries, client groups, pro bono commissions, state legislatures, non-LSC-funded legal services programs, and a host of others.
Legal services programs that weren't funded by the LSC were among the groups that LSC told its programs to collaborate with.
LSC instructed its programs to refrain from collaborating with any other organizations while making its state plans.
