[0232] Clinton Bamberger Papers, Coll. 33, 1960-1990s

Location: National Equal Justice Library, Georgetown Law Library Special Collections, 111 G. Street NW, Washington, D.C. 20001

Description: E. Clinton Bamberger, Jr. became the first Director of the Legal Services Program (LSP) within the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) in 1965. The collection documents the political and philosophical attacks on LSP made by members of the political right: Reagan as Governor of California and Nixon as U.S. President, for example. Conservatives disapproved of federally funded suits against the government and favored a program called Judicare as an alternate method of legal services delivery. Judicare was a program that would provide funds to private attorneys who in turn would provide counsel to those in need. This was a departure from the traditional model of having local offices staffed with legal services attorneys, who would dedicate their full efforts to legal services. The collection contains materials related to the California Rural Legal Assistance (CRLA) case in which Reagan, as Governor of California, attempted to block OEO funds. In addition to these materials, there are materials which document Wisconsin as a test state for Judicare.
