Consider this statement: "Non-lawyer ‘legal assistants or paralegals' should be authorized to offer legal services directly to the public.". What are the pros and cons of this proposition?
The authorization of legal technicians to perform simple legal services directly to members of the public presumably would result in improved access by the public to essential legal services at reduced costs. On the other hand, there is potential for a decline in the quality of services — "You get what you pay for," or "pay less, get less.". There also are problems with implementation. Who
would supervise and be financially responsible for the work product of such technicians? Is the resistance of the bar associated with a fear that such technicians could turn into sophisticated referral services for enterprising attorneys who are willing to pay for clients received?
