This is the dirty secret behind the legal profession's nominal support for access to justice: Lawyers are happy to support A2J as long as they maintain or grow their income. It doesn't work like that. Accessibility includes affordability, which comes from lower prices, which lawyers do not want.
Interrogating the legal profession's policy on #A2J is interesting. Lawyers say: "We want more people to be able to afford our services." What they mean is: "We want people to have more money to afford us." That's the whole idea behind legal aid: the state gives people enough money to hire lawyers.

Some people probably worth blocking. Two are definitely from the GC cult. The other I’m suspicious of.
TR....welcome to the UPL/A2J resistance?
