A state bar committee charged with proposing ways to increase access to legal help in California holds its final scheduled meeting Monday, drawing to a close 14 months of work that has been lauded as innovative and criticized as a threat to consumers.
The Task Force on Access Through Innovation of Legal Services will gather in San Francisco to consider a daylong agenda with eight proposals. The recommendations—many scaled back from concepts introduced last year—include allowing fee sharing with nonprofits, creating a pilot program for new services called the "regulatory sandbox," and changing rules on legal advertising.
The 22-member group's final report is expected to go to the bar's board of trustees March 12.
