you would think that with such a surplus legal services would be cheaper.
Hmm. Not sure why the cost is so high, come to think of it. Maybe it’s an unspoken code where if some lawyers undercut other lawyers’ prices too much, it ends up hurting the profession as a whole.
The partners in my office mentioned last week that there will be a shortage of attorneys in California in the next 10 years. I find that bizarre.
There’s also the issue of too few lawyers doing work for the poor and underrepresented.
