More Access to Unbundled Legal Services Would Benefit Middle Class, New York State Bar Association Finds

      While evaluating the ethics of unbundled legal services and legal ghostwriting, the NYSBA not only concluded such services were ethical, it found that - because it had

"a continuing responsibility to examine its rules, policies and procedures of ethics and practice to ensure that they provide access to justice and the delivery of affordable legal services to all, and in particular, middle income consumers and the poor"

 it therefore also had a goal for enhancing

"ways to permit lawyers to serve a client’s needs for unbundling where the client prefers or needs to be self-represented."
