The Jacksonville Area Legal Aid, JALA, developed during the Great Depression and the recession of 1937 out of a group of attorneys who organized to provide pro bono legal services to those who could not afford the services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Welcome to the Jacksonville Area Legal Aid (JALA) )〕 The Jacksonville Area Legal Aid was officially named in 1973, and received 501(c)(3) tax status in 1976.〔 JALA is a mid-size law firm with over 50 lawyers and support staff who offer free legal services to low income clients in civil legal matters which include public benefits, employment/unemployment law, family law, landlord-tenant disputes, fair housing, guardianship, refugee and asylee immigration, foreclosure defense, and consumer law.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Legal Aid )〕 JALA works with Florida Coastal School of Law and has supported accredited externships with the Florida State University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Florida State University "> title=Jacksonville Area Legal Aid )〕 ==Funding and budget== JALA receives funding from the Florida Bar Foundation, a foundation that receives funding by collecting interest on lawyer trust accounts. Saint Johns County and Jacksonville also donate to JALA,〔 although the Jacksonville City Council did not fund JALA "in 2013 or 2014, aside from dedicated grants for specific programs like veterans and homeless representation."〔(【引用サイトリンク】Folio Weekly'' "> title=Jacksonville Area Legal Aid Battles Budget Cuts )〕 In 2008 and 2009, JALA received $1.2 million from the bar foundation; however, due to a drop in interest rates JALA's budget was impacted in 2014 and only expected to receive $252,798 during the 2015 and 2016 fiscal year.〔 The result of the 2014 budget reduction required JALA to layoff employees, cut its services to low-income clients, and close the office on some days.〔
