Show Notes
North Carolinas IOLTA program, providing free civil legal services to low-income residents, was frozen in 2025, making it the only state without this support. The program, set up in 1983, pools interest earned on client funds to fund nonprofits like Legal Aid of North Carolina. The freeze has raised concerns from legal leaders, who warn it erodes trust in the justice system and leaves valid claims unresolved. Restoring these funds could ensure fair access to courts for all North Carolinians.
