Responsive Law

Responsive Law works to make the legal system more affordable, accessible and accountable to the public.

The country of Niger is ruled by a military junta and has one of the lowest per capita incomes in the world. Americans and Nigeriens have an equally difficult time finding affordable legal help, according to the just released @TheWJP Rule of Law Index.

Reforming regulations that prevent innovative legal services delivery is key to getting consumers affordable legal help. Our latest blog post (coauthored by our @ATomGordon and @JessicaBednarz) rebuts the false narratives raised bby opponents of reform.

A federal court in SC has decided not to issue a substantive ruling on whether the SC NAACP may provide advice to tenants facing eviction. The court said that the matter is one for the state supreme court to decide. https://t.co/5MkTPiP6nE

We've filed a brief in federal court in South Carolina supporting the state @NAACP's First Amendment right to provide free legal advice to those facing eviction. https://t.co/rrdMXpmDIk

On @bobambrogi's podcast, @ATomGordon and @MarkovichMaya discuss their recent piece that @ABAesq *didn't* publish, arguing that the controversy around DoNotPay shows the need for more nuanced regulation of legal services, not a binary system of "lawyers: in; everyone else: out."

[Bob Ambrogi @bobambrogi]

Last week, I wrote about the op-ed on regulatory reform by @MarkovichMaya and @ResponsiveLaw that @ABAesq wouldn't publish. Now here's the @LawNextPodcast interview with Maya and Tom that expands on their op-ed.

Instead of worrying about whether AI is going to put us lawyers out of business (law is a business!),

why aren't we curious about how AI can help us help the millions of people that we currently do not help?

[Responsive Law @ResponsiveLaw]

Our brief in the @upsolvebk case argues that consumers have a First Amendment right to receive legal advice from trained non-lawyers. The gov't interest in "protecting consumers" (by denying them the only legal help available) doesn't outweigh this right. https://t.co/mXu7tQjHgj

The US is once again ranked among the worst in the world at providing affordable access to the civil justice system. We're the richest country in the world, but we're ranked worse than many of the poorest ones. @TheWJP https://t.co/uBOyf54eGX

The ABA represents less than 15% of American lawyers, and it's not a representative sample. Those who want to expand access to legal solutions do; those who don't join the ABA and rail against the wind. https://t.co/z24zUEm5Gm
