Located in the southeastern region of the state of Wisconsin in the American Midwest, the city of Racine has a diversified economy that still depends on its manufacturing past. The city is on the mouth of the Root River that flows into Lake Michigan and it is home to nearly 80,000 residents. Racine is still the manufacturing center of the state of Wisconsin in conjuncture with the larger city of Milwaukee to the north. The major U.S. city of Chicago is also located within a close proximity of Racine as it is a short drive of 75 miles to the south.
Legal assistance usually refers to low-cost or free legal counsel for individuals and families because they can�t afford a paid lawyer on contract. It is one way for young people coming out of school with a legal degree but without much experience to perform important and necessary legal services for disadvantaged groups. It also looks good on a professional resume as being civic minded and fair as opposed to being in the profession strictly for fame and riches. At times, it does create a mismatch in legal proceedings where the opponent has well-paid and experienced legal counsel. Usually legal assistance is funded by donors who are also civic minded and may want the tax write-off as a donation.
