The Role of the Courts and How Modernizing Legal Services Impacts that Role and Public Confidence in the Courts

In addressing the role of the Courts, our panel will examine and discuss ideas surrounding modernizing legal services.  This will include (1) licensing of paraprofessionals; (2) modifying regulations on ownership and operation of law firms; (3) changes to legal education and licensure, and (4) issues surrounding lawyer mobility and multijurisdictional practice. The panel will also discuss how these topics impact lawyer competency, advocacy for clients and client confidentiality.
