New Call-In Center Expands Access to Legal Support Across North Carolina
The Wake County Legal Support Center launches the Legal Hand Call-In Center serving North Carolina — a first-of-its-kind resource in the state offering free legal information, assistance and referrals in all 100 counties.
A provision in the state 2026 Appropriations Act sets new requirements for NC IOLTA, including redirecting IOLTA funds previously used to support civil legal aid to the state Office of Indigent Defense Services for its Private Assigned Counsel Fund. Information about the implementation of this legislation and updates to the website are forthcoming.
More information about the requirements set forth in the legislation is available here. Information about the Oct. 9, 2026, constitutional challenge to this provision is available here.
