What is the impact of attorney's fees on legal aid services?

4 "Fee incentives to legal aid offices are essential to enable legal services organizations to provide more than individual, routine legal services for poor litigants. To a great extent, legal services organizations must allocate limited resources among various possible clients. Of necessity, the potential for fee recovery will be one of the factors considered in the allocation and use of resources for the maximum benefit of the poor." (Shadis v. Beal, supra, 685 F.2d at pp. 830-831; see Note, Awards of Attorney's Fees to Legal Aid Offices (1973) 87 Harv.L.Rev. 411, 414.)
