A sort of ripple effect. Deborah Rhode wrote about the paradoxical oversupply of lawyers and simultaneous lack of access to representation by those of modest means. Among her suggestions was the need to expand the services paraprofessionals can offer, which a number of states are now piloting. Just some other food for thought.
