Lawyers’ Monopoly Webinar Series 2: Lessons from the Field: On-the-Ground Efforts to Effect Positive Regulatory Innovations
- 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 has launched a four-part webinar series exploring various facets of the lawyers’ monopoly. Our first session sets the stage, considering diverse frameworks to guide how we think about the changing market for legal services. This second session focuses on the existing market for legal services, where numerous reforms are already off and running. A handful of states are leading the pack, enacting revolutionary programs that open the legal profession to outside investment and permit nonlawyer provision of legal services. This webinar canvases a subset of existing reforms and surfaces lessons to help guide further experimentation.
