Abstract

This case series deals with the situation facing the director of the Charlottesville-Albemarle Legal Aid Society, a federally supported non-profit organization chartered to provide legal services to low-income people involved in non-criminal cases. Legal Aid has entered a challenging time in its history: funding is decreasing while demand for services is growing. The director is struggling with how to forge a new strategy for the organization in an environment where resources are stretched thin and stakeholders do not agree about where the organization''s efforts should be focused. The (C) case provides an update 10 years after the (A) case (UVA-BP-0377). See also the (B) case (UVA-BP-0516).
