BCBA Home Study CLE: Current Trends in the Regulation of the Provision of Legal Services to Increase Access to Justice

Please join us for the virtual BCBA presentation Side Bar CLE: Current Trends in the Regulation of the Provision of Legal Services to Increase Access to Justice, presented by Justice Melissa Hart.

In the past several years, a growing number of states has started to explore reforms to the regulation of the legal profession.  These states – Utah, California, Arizona, Oregon, Illinois, Minnesota, and many others – are primarily looking at changes that would permit licensed paraprofessionals to provide legal advice in limited contexts and shift the focus of regulation away from regulation of lawyers and toward regulation of the services being provided.  This presentation will outline some of the proposals being considered in other states and then describe what is under consideration in Colorado.
