Equal Justice Through Law: Jackson Legal Service Bureau Role
The Jackson Legal Service Bureau, backed by the Office of Economic Opportunity, aims to expand legal aid to the poor. Chairman Stephen Wasby says its existence increases equal access to legal services regardless of income, race, creed, or color, though progress remains. The agency operates from Carbondale City Hall and the Jackson County Courthouse in Murphysboro as part of the Jackson Williamson Community Action Agency.
