The number of legal problems which confront poor people t each year in North Carolina is dramatic- I ally higher than the number experienced r by the general public, according to the i results of a recent statewide survey t. sponsored by Legal Services of North Carolina. Inc. (LSNC). "In personal interviews with approximately ^2300 low-income households across the state we learned that the average poor family in North Carolina faces up to 7 legal problems each year." said LSNC community education director Trina Gentry. "That's seven times the number faced 3y the average family five years ago." ihe said. "I feel this adds credence to the lotion that our laws affect the poor more han any other segment of society." Ms. Gentry noted that the survey howed that 50 per cent of the more than >5,000 legal problems identified dealt vith government benefits, health,' jmployrftent and community concerns. \nd nearly 70 per cent of the problems, ;he said, have occurred more than once. "The results of this survey will be extremely important to Legal Services programs across the state and to the :lients served by those programs in the -O ! mffif V I ^ ?~ . ^ v^. Ui-iil i 11 ^ ?

"We are immediately naking use of the results by incorporatng them in the setting of priorities for ?ach Legal Services program." The survey consisted of two samplesra 50()-household random probability sample drawn from the entire state, and a 1900-household judgement sample for 21 counties selected by Legal Services programs. Problems addressed by the survey included the kinds of civil legal problems that exist; their incidence, seriousness and types of help sought for resolution; cost of resolution; and major community problems. Other findings of the study include the fact that one out of every two households has a government benefits problem; one out of every three has an employment problem, a health problem, a housing problem and a community problem. . In the State survey, assistance was not sought for over 60 per cent of the problems and the major reason was that people did not know where to go for such help; 60 per cent of the problems in the State survey remain unsolved; and onethird of Jhe respondents did not know /VUTO SERVICE CENTER Id sales records and iber ever ... so we've ing \n this ad I You've hundreds pf Hems ...

"The responses to why people did not seek help and their uncertainty as to whether or not an attorney could h elp them points to the need for the Legal Services community to expend a greater effort informing clients and potential clients of the availability of Legal Services,", said Ms. Gentry.
