State Justice Communities: Where Do We Go From Here?
For the last 10 years, the civil legal aid community and its supporters have been heavily engaged in both the process and substance of developing a new national vision of how legal assistance for poor people will be delivered in this country. As always within the equal justice community, this endeavor has spun off a number of catch phrases and acronyms: CISS (Comprehensive, Integrated Statewide Systems), State Planning, �stakeholders�, State Justice Communities, SPAN (State Planning Assistance Network), DSPB (Designated State Planning Body), Access to Justice Commissions and, of course, �reconfiguration�.
This document discusses the history and the future of State Justice Communities

Explaining the Recent Decline in Domestic Violence
The goal of this paper is to ascertain the source of the decline in intimate partner
abuse from 1993 to 1998 cited in a recent report by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. We find three
significant factors in explaining the decline: (1) the increased provision of legal services for
victims of intimate partner abuse, (2) improved educational and economic status for women, and
(3) demographic trends including the aging of the population and an increase in racial diversity.
Specifically, US women have become older, more educated, richer, and more likely to belong to a
minority race. In addition, the provision of legal services has exploded in the past decade. All of
these factors are significant determinants of abuse and are trending in the right direction to
explain the reduced incidence of domestic violence in the US.
