Actually there are a lot of examples on their web site. I was somewhat surprised myself. The first one that came to mind was that they wanted to have the government fund an organization called the LSC. This is used to represent poor people in class action suits and challanges to constitutionality. It is also used to suppliment public defender types. There are other examples on the site as well but I won't comment on them or even this example.
