Description
Criticizes a legal system in which only the wealthy can afford essential services from the country's numerous attorneys. As legislators cut budgets for legal-aid providers and as prestigious law firms reduce their pro bono commitments to mere lip service, the poor find themselves represented by unqualified and negligent lawyers in criminal cases and by no one at all in civil courts and bureaucratic proceedings. Makes the case for reforms which include the development of procedures for resolving disputes without lawyers or court hearings, the distribution of legal self-help materials, the expansion of pro-bono services, and the adequate funding of legal-aid agencies.
