==== Civil right to counsel: influence on policy and aid provision ==== The movement along with the strong correlation between representation and equitable outcomes for low-income litigants in poverty lawyership scholarship has significantly influenced the policies surrounding legal representation. For example, in 2006, the American Bar Association adopted Resolution 112A, urging jurisdictions to provide legal counsel "as a matter of right at public expense to low-income persons in those categories of adversarial proceedings where basic human needs are at stake".<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Rexer|first=Norah|date=2014|title=A Professional Responsibility: The Role of Lawyers in Closing the Justice Gap|journal=Georgetown Journal on Poverty Law and Policy|volume=22|pages=585β610|via=EBSCOhost}}</ref> Outside of influencing policy, the civil right to counsel movement has fueled approaches to legal aid that aim to alleviate the financial burden civil litigants face. Aid through lawyer substitutes has become more prevalent, involving non-lawyer professionals who can assist clients in legal matters without the supervision of a certified attorney.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=D'Angelo-Corker|first=Kristy|date=2019|title=When Less Is More: The Limitless Potential of Limited Scope Representation to Increase Access to Justice for Low- to Moderate-Income Individuals|journal=Marquette Law Review|volume=103|pages=111β162|via=EBSCOhost}}</ref> Similarly, pro bono legal aid, which involves providing legal services without fees in order to promote public good, has gained prominence.
