there should be a co-operative you can join to be able to get good legal backing so the little guy doesn't have to give in because nothing else makes economic sense. a legal system where by default "might makes right" is pretty scary. when the little guy rolls over to most demands from the big guy because he doesn't have the resources to fight, it completely distorts how a civil society is supposed to operate. you see this in many different fields and yet, very little has been done lately by the little guy to fight it.
sad.
- thesethings 17y agoI tweeted the other day about something similar. I think there are many cases where basic legal resource could save a lot of heartache. For really "cookie cutter" situations, ideally there'd be something in-between pro-bono, and "make an appointment at my full rate." A directory of cool lawyers, basically. Jay Parkinson, MD is a cool medical doctor who is really trying to change medicine, and does appointments over the Internet for example, people could pay with Paypal. What if lawyers did the same? http://jayparkinsonmd.com/ http://jayparkinsonmd.com/
