> Leah Wilson, the State Bar of California's executive director, told NPR that there has been a recent surge in poor-quality legal representation that has emerged to fill a void in affordable legal advice.
> "In 2023, we are seeing well-funded, unregulated providers rushing into the market for low-cost legal representation, raising questions again about whether and how these services should be regulated," Wilson said.
Got it. There are not enough affordable legal services in the US, and so the Bar's solution is to regulate them away.

- bob_theslob646 4y ago>exploit That's a really funny use of the word, considering that the whole purpose of what they're trying to do is the opposite of exploit those of lesser means. If you can explain to me how what they're trying to do is going to is by definition of the word "exploit" then I will change my mind, otherwise otherwise I will continue to think you have no idea how ironic it is for someone offering an equivalent service or something that will be the equivalent service for a much lower cost as "exploiting someone." It seems like the legal industry doesn't like competition.
