Great article by Robert Ambrogi, a few days ago. If you care about access to justice and access to the law, take a minute to read it. A big issue in access to justice and access to the law, per Bob, is that the groups working hard on these issues are not working in alignment, and probably don’t know what each are working on. Two travesties persist in tainting access by all to the U.S. legal system.

The Legal Services Corporation estimates that 92% of the civil legal problems of the roughly 50 million low-income Americans receive no or insufficient legal help. Reasonable minds can quibble over that number – some say it is exaggerated – but no one doubts or disputes that the legal system falls dramatically short of serving those who need it, not just for those with low inco

Many law firms spend tremendous amounts of money to attract prospective clients but fail to seal enough deals to remain profitable. Getting people to send messages or call is one thing. But converting those prospects into paying clients can be an entirely different battle.
