Description

The struggle to address the global access to justice and access to legal services crises continues, with the pandemic having taken its toll on those in need. Efforts to innovate and re-imagine the delivery of legal services have taken a new turn, one that includes permitting alternative business structures and professionals other than lawyers delivering legal services direct to consumers. In a growing number of jurisdictions, regulators and the organized bar have begun implementing limited, supervised testing of new methods of delivery via a policy tool called a regulatory sandbox. What is a sandbox and how does it work? Can it really increase access and do so in a way that preserves professional values and public protection? Experts directly involved with their implementation will tackle these and other questions.
