10Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles 2003 Annual Report 11Executive Director’s MessagePeople often ask me how LAFLA is doing, meaning how are we doing on funding. During the pastseven years our budget has grown. While federal funding has been flat and interest on lawyertrust account revenue has plunged, we have diversified our funding base and received increasedinvestment from the private bar. As a result, LAFLA has twice as many lawyers assisting clientsas we did in 1997. With our innovative programs, after-hours clinics, partnerships with bar associationsand community groups, six neighborhood offices, and advice centers in five courthouses, we arethe leading law firm for the poor in Southern California. LAFLA is thriving.But lafla’s goal is to make a difference in the community. And the community is nothealthy.The ranks of those needing our help have grown far faster than we have.While we celebrateour 75-year history we do not dwell on the past. Rather, we face the future with both resolveand concern.The questions for friends of lafla are:What will growing poverty and inequality do toLos Angeles? And what can we all do about it?Although Los Angeles has the highest poverty rate of any major metropolitan area in thenation, and one in four children live in families that are poor, you can live in Los Angeles and beunaware of the face of poverty.That is because most of the poor – and most of lafla’s clients –are working. Clerks and car washers, housekeepers and day laborers, earn wages that barely coverrents in a region with the widest gap in the country between the demand and supply for affordablehousing.Affordable child care is just as scarce, as is access to a doctor and job training for familiestrying to move from welfare to work.The stories in this volume illustrate how lafla seeks tomeet these challenges.A cadre of poverty lawyers alone, however, will not reduce – much less end – the miseryin our midst without a broader partnership. Both the principles our profession espouses and thecore tenets of America recognize a shared responsibility to pursue justice and help our neighborsin need.Yet reducing poverty and inequality is also a matter of self-interest. Poverty and inequalityundermine faith in our democratic institutions, and cost us all in reduced productivity, economicactivity, and higher taxes.Poverty is a concern for those who are not poor. Employers cannot remain in a regionwhere workers cannot afford to live, cannot travel to work, cannot leave their children in safehands, and lack the education and training to compete on a global stage. Businesses will see theircustomers go elsewhere; lawyers will see their clients do the same. And all of us are less securewhen more and more of our neighbors share no faith and hold no stake in the future.bruce g. iwasaki, executive directorlafla is a key partner in what must be a broader campaign against these trends.Your support for the Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles helps build a stronger community ofadvocates for economic and social justice.

12Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles 2003 Annual Report 13Then &NowThe History of the Legal Aid Foundation of Los AngelesOrigin of LAFLAlafla traces its origin to the SouthernCalifornia Legal Aid Clinic Association,which was begun at usc Law School andincorporated on June 18, 1929.The entitythat would become lafla started as astudent-operated legal aid clinic in which15 law school students were enrolled.Justin Miller, a criminal law expert anddean of the law school, and John SaegerBradway, one of the country’s foremostlegal aid attorneys, were its founders.Los Angeles in the 1920s was a cauldronof growth and turmoil.The Countypopulation had more than doubled from936,000 in 1920 to more than 2.2 millionin 1930. Oil discoveries at Signal Hill andother areas in and around Los Angelesmade California the largest oil producingstate in 1923, accounting for one-quarterof the world's entire output of oil.Echoing today’s headlines, real estate andstock speculation led to huge fraudscandals in the late 1920s.The collapse ofthe real estate and stock booms, coincidingwith the onset of the Depression, madepaupers of hundreds of thousands ofordinary citizens. In 1930 Los Angeles ledthe nation in the number of bankruptciesand the amount of net losses in bankruptcyproceedings. It also had the most suicides,embezzlements, and bank robberies.top photo: Housing tract announcing its restrictive covenant.bottom photo: Groundbreaking at a public housing project.

14 Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles 2003 Annual Report 15Middle YearsEarly YearsThe Legal Aid Clinic was supported byprominent law firms and local charities.John O’Melveny was president of theboard in the early 1930s. Bradway wascommitted to running a professional lawfirm for poor people. As the Depressionwore on, the population of Los Angelesand its environs swelled with familiescoming west for a chance to start over.As a response to the increasing povertyand lack of resources for the poor,muckraking writer and social activistUpton Sinclair instituted his End Povertyin California Campaign. epic ran Sinclairfor governor and conducted other politicalcampaigns. Former dock worker Augustus“Gus” Hawkins would become the firstAfrican American elected to the stateassembly, representing an area later to becalled South Central l.a. And Sam Yorty,who decades later would be mayor ofl.a., ran for office on the epic ticketas well.In 1937, the board of the SouthernCalifornia Legal Aid Clinic Associationvoted to transfer all of that organization’sassets and liabilities to the newly formedLegal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles.Restrictive housing covenants, operatingsince the 1920s, were increasingly used(despite a 1948 Supreme Court decisionoutlawing them) in the post-warperiod as the city spawned suburbs andbedroom communities. In 1950, thenpolice sergeant, and later Mayor ofLos Angeles,Tom Bradley, was initiallyprohibited from buying a home inLeimert Park because of such a covenant.In the 1950s the Lawyers’Wives adoptedlafla as its main charity, recruitingvolunteers and raising funds.Today thegroup is known as the Law Advocates ofLos Angeles and, pursuant to lafla’sbylaws, maintains a seat on the boardof directors.After years of racial insensitivity practicedby the Los Angeles Police Department andother law enforcement agencies, and blackunemployment hovering at 20%, the Wattsriot erupted in August 1965. In itsaftermath, Los Angeles was cited bySargent Shriver, head of the Office ofEconomic Opportunity (oeo), as the only“major city” without a “well-roundedcommunity action program because ofthe failure of local officials to establish abroad-based community action boardrepresenting all segments of the community.”Federal funding of lafla began in 1966under the aegis of President LyndonJohnson’s War on Poverty. oeo headShriver established a national legal servicesprogram, which funded lafla and fiveother local legal aid operations inLos Angeles.opposing page: Sample of Congressman Hawkins’ newsletter to constituents.

16 Legal Aid Foundation of Los Angeles 2003 Annual Report 17Now More than EverWhere our community standsNational Programs EstablishedIn 1971, lafla merged with one of thoseagencies, the Los Angeles NeighborhoodLegal Services Society, creating a programwith seven offices.Three years later, thefederal Legal Services Corporation (lsc)was created by Congress andPresident Nixon.In 1981 and 1995, cuts in funding to lsccaused serious dislocations to lafla andother programs across the country. Despitethat and l.a.’s wholesale deindustrialization,which pushed a post-World War IIworkforce out of higher-paying heavyindustry and into the lower-paying servicesector, the ending of federal job trainingprograms and other safety nets underPresident Reagan, and another riot in1992, lafla continued to provideservices to clients directly affected bythese events.In 2001, lafla merged with the Legal AidFoundation of Long Beach, which hadbeen created in 1953.TodayToday lafla is recognized as one of theleading law firms for low-income peoplein the country.We work closely withcommunity advocates, private lawyers,government agencies and the judiciary toexpand access to justice, strengthencommunities, fight discrimination, andeffect systemic change.In these pages we describe a few of thecases lafla has recently undertaken forfamilies and individuals with nowhere elseto turn for help.
