Elekeza haki pale inapohitajika zaidi kwa kuwasaidia wakazi wa Idaho kupitia Tuzo za Cy Pres.
Wakati suluhu za kesi za kitabaka zinapoacha fedha zisizodaiwa au zilizobaki, mahakama zinaweza kuelekeza fedha hizo kwa mashirika ambayo kazi yake inaendana na madhumuni ya msingi ya kesi - ambayo inajulikana kama tuzo ya cy pres.
Huduma za Msaada wa Kisheria za Idaho ni kampuni ya sheria isiyo ya faida inayoaminika ambayo hutoa msaada wa kisheria bila malipo kwa wakazi wa Idaho wenye kipato cha chini, ikiwa ni pamoja na wazee, manusura wa unyanyasaji wa majumbani, watu wenye ulemavu, na familia za vijijini. Tunaamini kwamba hakuna mtu anayepaswa kukabiliana na mgogoro wa kisheria peke yake kwa sababu tu hawezi kumudu wakili.
