Several New Jersey-based general counsel are among the 262 asking Congress to increase federal funding for Legal Services Corp. amid proposed cuts.
In a letter sent Monday, the general counsel of Catalent Inc., Celgene Corp., Dun & Bradstreet, Merck & Co., Prudential Financial Inc., Realogy Group and Sanofi's North American operation joined others in a request to Congress to “expand access to justice by increasing federal funding for the Legal Services Corporation.”
Last month, LSC submitted a budget request for $593 million in 2020. The White House's 2020 budget proposal plans to defund the group—the Trump administration's third attempt to do so.
