The North Carolina State Bar shall allocate these funds directly to each of the established legal services programs with Pisgah Legal Services receiving the allocation for Buncombe, Henderson, Madison, Polk, Rutherford, and Transylvania Counties. Funds shall be allocated to each program based on the counties served by that program using the following formula:

(1)        Twenty percent (20%) based on a fixed equal dollar amount for each county.

(2)        Eighty percent (80%) based on the rate of civil actions filed pursuant to Chapter 50B of the N.C. Gen. Stat. in that county.
