The latest Rule of Law Index from @TheWJP shows the U.S. continuing to lag behind most of the world in access to legal help.

The country of Niger is ruled by a military junta and has one of the lowest per capita incomes in the world. Americans and Nigeriens have an equally difficult time finding affordable legal help, according to the just released @TheWJP Rule of Law Index.

Reforming regulations that prevent innovative legal services delivery is key to getting consumers affordable legal help. Our latest blog post (coauthored by our @ATomGordon and @JessicaBednarz) rebuts the false narratives raised bby opponents of reform.

According to @TheWJP 2023 Rule of Law Index, access to legal help in the U.S. is about as good as in Sierra Leone and Afghanistan.

A federal court in SC has decided not to issue a substantive ruling on whether the SC NAACP may provide advice to tenants facing eviction. The court said that the matter is one for the state supreme court to decide. responsivelaw.org/uploads/1/…
We've filed a brief in federal court in South Carolina supporting the state @NAACP's First Amendment right to provide free legal advice to those facing eviction. responsivelaw.org/blog/respo…
On @bobambrogi's podcast, @ATomGordon and @MarkovichMaya discuss their recent piece that @ABAesq *didn't* publish, arguing that the controversy around DoNotPay shows the need for more nuanced regulation of legal services, not a binary system of "lawyers: in; everyone else: out."
Last week, I wrote about the op-ed on regulatory reform by @MarkovichMaya and @ResponsiveLaw that @ABAesq wouldn't publish. Now here's the @LawNextPodcast interview with Maya and Tom that expands on their op-ed.

ABA Cracks Down on Its Center for Innovation for Trying to Discuss Innovation responsivelaw.org/blog/aba-c…
Great news out of North Carolina! We're looking forward to seeing how @LegalAidNC will be able to innovate to make legal help more accessible to everyone.
🚨It's official! @LegalAidNC has a new #CINO and launches its #Innovation #Lab🚨
I'm beyond excited to collaborate with Scheree and the LANC team as we develop #scalable #A2J solutions and build #interdisciplinary partnerships with organizations to #makelawbetter. #legaltech
Our brief in the @upsolvebk case argues that consumers have a First Amendment right to receive legal advice from trained non-lawyers. The gov't interest in "protecting consumers" (by denying them the only legal help available) doesn't outweigh this right. responsivelaw.org/blog/brief…

The US is once again ranked among the worst in the world at providing affordable access to the civil justice system. We're the richest country in the world, but we're ranked worse than many of the poorest ones. @TheWJP responsivelaw.org/blog/us-co…
The ABA represents less than 15% of American lawyers, and it's not a representative sample. Those who want to expand access to legal solutions do; those who don't join the ABA and rail against the wind. responsivelaw.org/blog/aba-t…
