Are Americans making under $50,000 a year compelled to navigate the
legal system on their own, or do they simply give up because they
cannot afford lawyers? We know anecdotally that Americans of median
or lower income generally do without legal representation or resort
to a sector of the legal profession that - because of the sheer
volume of claims, inadequate training, and other causes - provides
deficient representation and advice. This book poses the question:
can we - at the current level of resources, both public and private
- better address the legal needs of all Americans? Leading judges,
researchers, and activists discuss the role of technology, pro bono
services, bar association resources, affordable solo and small firm
fees, public service internships, and law student and nonlawyer
representation.
