Finding 2022-007 ? Special Test & Provisions- Private Attorney Involvement PAI (Significant Deficiency and Non-compliance) CORRECTIVE ACTION: FRLS requested and received a waiver from LSC with respect to its 2022 spending on PAI. As part of its request, FRLS shared that as part of the corrective action plan, improved PAI services by changing pro bono coordinators from paralegals to attorneys to better work with private attorneys and respective bar associations throughout our service areas. FRLS has also reestablished connections with our respective service partners throughout the pandemic, rebuilding and providing excellent services through our pro bono partners. PAI remains one of our top priorities in expanding our program services. Our program improvements, including pro bono assistance via virtual and courthouse clinics have resulted in more PAI services to our client communities. We have increased attendance at our annual bench and bar events to raise PAI awareness in our service communities and are also planning to introduce other annual bench and bar event in other regional offices in the future, including our first bench bar event in our Lakeland Service area.
