Reagan charges against CRLA rejected by panel
A panel of three former state supreme court justices rejected Reagan’s accusations that the California Rural Legal Assistance attorneys illegally aided prisoners, farm unions, and black militants. The commission found the Uhler report misrepresented facts and unfairly attacked CRLA, praising CRLA for providing competent legal aid to the poor. It urged tighter controls and reaffirmed CRLA funding plans, while Meese defended the commission’s scope.
