ISLP's founders were convinced that: (1) there is a widespread need throughout the developing world for legal assistance from experienced attorneys; and (2) there is a growing pool of attorneys at or near retirement age who have the ability to help meet that demand and the desire to serve the world community. A seven-month study was conducted to determine the validity of these premises. Since the study's completion in June 2001, ISLP has undertaken projects addressing human rights and economic justice in many areas around the world. </font></p><p> <font face="Arial" size="2">ISLP's three program areas are: </font></p><li><font face="Arial" size="2"> <a href="humanrights.html"> Human Rights &amp; Social Welfare </a> </font></li><li><font face="Arial" size="2"> <a href="economic.html"> Equitable Economic Development </a> </font></li><li><font face="Arial" size="2"> <a href="justice.html"> Access to Justice </a></font><p align="justify"><font face="Arial" size="2">Click on each program area for examples of current, completed and developing projects in each of these areas. </font></p><p> <font face="Arial" size="2"><b>Where We Work</b></font></p><p align="justify"><font face="Arial" size="2"> ISLP does not limit its activities to any one region of the world. &nbsp;However, we have focused much of our work over the past several years in Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, Eastern Europe and Russia. &nbsp;ISLP volunteers also work with U.S.-based organizations whose programs assist the people of developing countries.
