Lawyers’ Monopoly Webinar Series 1: Conceptualizing Legal Services Regulation
- This event has passed.
A new volume, edited by Rhode Center Co-Directors and Stanford Law School professors David Freeman Engstrom and Nora Freeman Engstrom (and available open access on Cambridge Core), brings together leading legal scholars and practitioners to propose new conceptual frameworks for reform, drawing lessons from other professions, industries, and places, both within the United States and across the world. Rethinking the Lawyers’ Monopoly: Access to Justice and the Future of Legal Services seeks to help shape and steer the coming revolution in the legal services marketplace.
To bring these discussions off the page, the Rhode Center is launching a series exploring various facets of the lawyers’ monopoly. This first session sets the stage, considering how best to frame the many issues at the intersection of legal services regulation and access to justice. With the understanding that more lawyers doing more work will not close the justice gap, stakeholders are embracing a more holistic and nuanced gaze that expands beyond the simple supply of lawyers. This webinar will explore diverse frameworks to guide how we think about the changing market for legal services.
