One call, that's all...
A survey finds that Utah's lawyers are concerned that the legal system favors the wealthy over the average Joe.The rest of us figured that out in about 200 B.C.
According to the story:
In a Law Day (May 1) survey of 50 Utah Bar Association lawyers, 31 percent said the system's No. 1 problem is ''only the rich are getting results . . . the poor and middle class can't afford legal services.''The lawyer poll, of course, neglected to address a straightforward fix for the problem: pro bono. That's when lawyers, as part of their ethical responsibilities, take time off from representing the rich to offer free representation to poor folks.
The Utah Bar used to have a pro bono project. Now, the bar directs inquiries to Utah Legal Services at (801) 328-8891 or toll-free at (800) 662-4245.
