Ten-Year Study of New Yorkers' Access to Justice Concludes that Unbundled Legal Services Could Provide Greater Equality in the Courtroom

In 2009, the results of a 10-year study by the New York judiciary into the state's legal system found that :

"[a]proximately 1.8 million litigants appear each year in New York State’s courts and countless others not yet party to a case come to court without a laywer for information and guidance. In certain types of civil cases, such as housing matters, it is estimated that while up to 90% of litigants are self-represented, the opposing side has a lawyer."

Perhaps unbundled legal services could help.
