The number of people who cannot afford a lawyer, and who are forced to represent themselves in important legal proceedings has ballooned in the last 10 years. Chief among the reasons for this development is the cost of litigation. Even people of ordinary means can no longer afford to pay a lawyer to see a case through to the end.” We need to examine each area of the law to determine options for reform with the goal of providing better access to justice and reducing the role of lawyers. For example, why do so many accident victims require a lawyer to assist with the collection of no-fault accident benefits? How can we modify the law so that insurance companies will have to provide contractually required benefits without forcing accident victims to retain a lawyer?
