Mission and programs · 2024

• THE MISSION OF WISCONSIN JUDICARE, INC. DBA JUDICARE LEGAL AID [JLA] IS TO PROVIDE LEGAL ASSISTANCE TO THOSE WHO OTHERWISE CANNOT AFFORD IT. JLA IS COMMITTED TO PROVIDING HIGH QUALITY LEGAL SERVICES. JLA HAS STAFF THAT PROVIDE DIRECT REPRESENTATION, AS WELL AS EDUCATION FOR CLIENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES, PROVIDING RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES UNDER THE LAW. STAFF MEMBERS ALSO PROVIDE EDUCATION TO THE BAR AND THE COMMUNITY IN WAYS TO ADDRESS THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF OUR SERVICE POPULATION.DURING THIS FISCAL YEAR, JLA PROVIDED LEGAL SERVICES IN 2,678 CASES IN VARIOUS SUBJECTS. THE BREAKDOWN OF THOSE SUBJECTS IS BELOW. TO PROVIDE THESE SERVICES, JLA USED THE SERVICES...(CONTINUED ON SCHEDULE O)OF NINETEEN PAID STAFF ATTORNEYS, SIX LEGAL ADVOCATES, FOUR PARALEGALS AND 80 PRIVATE ATTORNEYS AND TRIBAL LAY ADVOCATES. JLA'S WORK BENEFITS THE PUBLIC IN MANY WAYS. CASES MOVE MORE QUICKLY AND MORE EFFICIENTLY THROUGH THE LEGAL SYSTEM WHEN AN ATTORNEY REPRESENTS A PARTY TO THE CASE. BY PROVIDING ATTORNEYS TO REPRESENT PARTIES, JLA EMPOWERS OUR LOW-INCOME CLIENTS TO ACHIEVE FAIRER OUTCOMES AND NAVIGATE AN INCREDIBLY COMPLICATED LEGAL SYSTEM. JLA ALSO PLAYS A PART SUPPORTING VICTIMS OF VIOLENCE AS THEY FACE SAFETY CONCERNS, LEAVING AN ABUSIVE SPOUSE, OR BEING THE VICTIM IN A CRIMINAL CASE. THROUGH JLA'S LEGAL ASSISTANCE, VICTIMS ARE EQUIPPED WITH THE TOOLS TO HELP THEM TOWARD A FUTURE OF SAFETY, STABILITY, AND HEALING. IN ADDITION TO DIRECT LEGAL SERVICES, JLA ALSO PROVIDES RESOURCES FOR COMMUNITY MEMBERS FORCED TO ENGAGE WITH THE LEGAL SYSTEM WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY, AND FREE MEDIATION TO RESOLVE EVICTION, DEBT, AND OTHER SMALL CLAIMS CASES OUTSIDE OF THE COURT SYSTEM. THESE PROGRAMS INCREASE OUR ABILITY TO HELP COMMUNITY MEMBERS WITH LEGAL QUESTIONS, COURT FORMS, AND FINDING SOLUTIONS THAT CAN BE BENEFICIAL FOR ALL INVOLVED. THESE PROGRAMS HELP REDUCE UNJUST OUTCOMES IN OUR LEGAL SYSTEM THAT ARE FUELED BY INEQUITY IN ACCESS TO LEGAL INFORMATION AND REPRESENTATION. FINALLY, AS JLA IS A RECIPIENT OF FEDERAL LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION FUNDS, THERE IS NO LONGER A PROHIBITION FROM REQUESTING AND RECEIVING ATTORNEY FEE AWARDS. THE LEGAL SERVICES CORPORATION REGULATIONS REGARDING THIS REQUIREMENT WERE MODIFIED IN DECEMBER 2009. JLA DOES NOT COLLECT FEES FOR SERVICES FROM CLIENTS.CASE SUMMARY BY SUBJECT:*1 ADOPTION*12 ADULT GUARDIANSHIP/CONSERVATORSHIP*686 ADVANCED DIRECTIVES/POWERS OF ATTORNEY*178 BANKRUPTCY/DEBTOR RELIEF*51 COLLECT/REPOSSESSION/DEFENSE/GARNISHMENT*17 CRIMINAL RECORD EXPUNGEMENT*292 CUSTODY/VISITATION*1 DELINQUENT*1 DISCIPLINE (INCLUDING EXPULSION AND SUSPENSION)*279 DIVORCE/SEP./ANNUL.*50 DOMESTIC ABUSE*40 EMPLOYEE RIGHTS*4 EMPLOYMENT DISCRIMINATION*86 FEDERALLY SUBSIDIZED HOUSING*12 FOOD STAMPS*1 HOME AND COMMUNITY BASED CARE*24 HOMEOWNERSHIP/REAL PROPERTY (NOT FORECLOSURE)*4 HOUSING DISCRIMINATION*8 INDIAN/TRIBAL LAW*13 LICENSES (DRIVERS, OCCUPATIONAL, AND OTHERS)*3 LOANS/INSTALLMENT PURCHASES (NOT COLLECTIONS)*2 LONG TERM HEALTH CARE FACILITIES*9 MEDICAID*19 MINOR GUARDIANSHIP/CONSERVATORSHIP*40 MOBILE HOMES*26 MORTGAGE FORECLOSURES (NOT PREDATORY LENDING/PRACTICES)*9 NEGLECTED/ABUSED/DEPENDENT*2 OTHER CONSUMER/FINANCE*1 OTHER EDUCATION*2 OTHER EMPLOYMENT*1 OTHER FAMILY*2 OTHER HEALTH*6 OTHER HOUSING*5 OTHER INCOME MAINTENANCE*24 OTHER INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS*3 OTHER JUVENILE*8 PARDONS*6 PARENTAL RIGHTS TERMINATION*11 PATERNITY*1 PRIVATE HEALTH INSURANCE*296 PRIVATE LANDLORD/TENANT*44 PUBLIC HOUSING*2 PUBLIC UTILITIES*4 SOCIAL SECURITY (NOT SSDI)*1 SPECIAL EDUCATION/LEARNING DISABILITIES*26 SSDI*60 SSI*1 STATE AND LOCAL INCOME MAINTENANCE*3 SUPPORT*1 TAXES (NOT EITC)*1 TORTS*41 UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION*10 WAGE CLAIMS AND OTHER FLSA ISSUES*248 WILLS AND ESTATES

As filed on the 2024 return. The filer continues this part on Schedule O, which is not shown here.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
