Limited Scope Representation 2014: Ethical
& Practical Challenges
Sponsored by Practising Law Institute
To respond to the access to justice
crisis facing the legal system, the civil legal services community and the
judiciary have partnered in the expansion of services based on limited scope
representation models.
In limited scope representation, known as unbundled legal services in the private sector, an attorney takes responsibility for only a portion of a client’s case. It offers a partial solution to the access to justice crisis facing the legal system by enabling volunteer attorneys and law students to assist unrepresented litigants on a “limited scope” basis. Information tables, drop-in legal clinics, websites and help lines are all models in which an attorney takes a limited role in assisting a client with a legal issue.
This program will address the ethical and practical issues, as well as best practices, in limited scope representation models.
