Rural Iowa poor lack legal aid say researchers
A University of Iowa Law Review study finds rural Iowa residents face divorce, child support, custody, bill collection, employment, housing and welfare rights issues but receive insufficient legal assistance. Surveys show 7 percent of rural residents cannot afford aid and welfare workers estimate 22 percent cannot. Authors urge publicize programs, use law students in clinics near Iowa and Drake, and voluntary attorney panels. Non rural counties listed include Black Hawk and Polk.
