The legal profession has no answer to the one-hundred-year-old problem of lack of access to justice by low- and middle-income people. The profession is not able to help solve many of the legal problems typical Americans face including discrimination, the large number of work-related legal problems employees face, school arrests, victim rights, delays in the court system, the failure of the court system to employ modern information technology, and many others. This course discusses how you can become a change agent in the legal profession from a person who has been a change agent in the legal profession for nearly four decades.
