Trouble at the Bar

An Economics Perspective on the Legal Profession and the Case for Fundamental Reform

Beschreibung

Deregulating the legal profession will benefit society by improving access to legal services and the efficacy of public policies. Deregulating the legal profession, the authors argue, would allow more people to provide a variety of legal services without jeopardizing their quality, reduce the cost of those services, spur competition and innovation in the private sector, and increase the quality of lawyers who pursue careers in the public sector. Legal practitioners would enjoy more fulfilling careers, and society in general and its most vulnerable members in particular would benefit greatly.
