DISP-DECLINE
|
|
Although we decline to adopt their proposal at this time, we wish to thank Petitioners for bringing this important issue before the Court for consideration, and we commend their altruism in recommending an increase in Bar dues to support legal aid organizations. The petition in this case brought to the forefront a significant and critical issue affecting access to justice in our state. We believe a continuing discussion as to the best methods to fund legal aid programs, together with the work of the Florida Commission on Access to Civil Justice, will serve to strengthen equal access to our judicial system.
It is so ordered.
