All this discussion / criticism about billionaires buying our political system, often fails to mention the justice system, as well.
I have an interesting job. I live in Washington state. I am the 2nd person ever in the US to earn a license to provide legal advice to clients in domestic relations (divorce and related) matters as a non-attorney. It's called Limited License Legal Technician. Completely novel.
Licensed by Washington State Supreme Court - very forward-thinking. Has encountered far-reaching resistance from attorneys (surprise!). Idea is to make justice accessible.and affordable for a wider swath, as presently 85% of family law litigants self-represent, since they can't afford an attorney.
We are required to be trained, educated, and experienced, but without the obscene expenses of law school. Hoping the idea will spread to other states.
