legal services in civil matters to indigent persons do not
adequately meet the needs of indigent persons;
(2) the use of funds collected under this article for these
purposes is in the public interest, is a proper use of the funds,
and is consistent with essential public and governmental
purposes in the judicial branch of government; and
(3) the expansion, improvement, and initiation of legal services
to indigent persons will aid in the advancement of the science
of jurisprudence and in the improvement of the administration
of justice.
