ABA Commission on Future of Legal Services is Seeking Comments

The ABA Commission on the Future of Legal Services has recently published an issues paper in conjunction with "a comprehensive examination of issues related to the delivery of, and the public's access to, legal services in the United States."

The issues paper is available here, and identifies several topics that the Commission is seeking comment on, including: Better Service, Problems in Delivering Law and Law-Related Services, Alternative Providers and Regulatory Innovations, Underserved Communities, Policy Changes, Insights from Other Fields, Data, Legal Education and Training, and Diversity and Inclusion.

The submission deadline for comments is December 10, 2014 and submission instructions are included in the paper.

Hat tip to the Legal Informatics Blog for their post on this topic, which also links to blog posts from a Commission member and the Commission vice-chair about the issues paper.
