Pessure to deregulate the legal marketplace is coming from a number of academics who believe more people could offer legal services at a cheaper price if lawyers were not regulated. Law professor Laurel Rigertas wrote in a recent Fordham Law Review article - 'The Legal Profession's Monopoly: Failing to Protect Consumers' that much 'of the public is left wandering around the self-help section of bookstores and self-help kiosks in courthouses trying to figure out how to handle matters on their own.' According to contributor George Leef in Forbes, licensing regulations in the legal profession do not protect the public but merely raise the price of services, doing the most harm to those who can least afford to pay.
