A practical plan for providing legal help to all, regardless of
resources Millions of people in the United States face legal
problems without lawyers to help them. Why? How do we educate and
inform the public about the law so they can understand when the
services of a lawyer are necessary or desirable? When can
individuals solve legal problems on their own or with the
assistance of a specialist without a traditional law degree? In
short, how do we democratize the law? Law Democratized offers a
blueprint to increase legal help for everyone, regardless of their
ability to pay. Building on more than a decade of research into
innovation in legal services, the book advances a series of
recommendations inspired by success stories from around the globe.
Renee Knake Jefferson outlines different paths pursued by bar
associations, courts, entrepreneurs, law schools, nonprofits, and
others, evaluating the promise and pitfalls of each. She analyzes
regulatory reforms employed in other nations, along with emerging
efforts in a handful of US states. If the rule of law is the
bedrock that American democracy rests upon, then the justice
transformed system must be open and user-friendly to all. Law
Democratized makes a compelling argument for transforming the
American legal landscape through engaged citizenship, ethical
innovation, expanded education, and regulatory reform, in order to
democratize law and make legal help more accessible.
