The ABA House of Delegates, meeting in Austin yesterday, voted to approve a resolution calling on states to consider innovative approaches to the access-to-justice crisis that could improve the accessibility, affordability and quality of civil legal services. Language was added during consideration to clarify that nothing in the resolution should be construed as altering ABA model rules, including Rule 5.4, which covers non-lawyer ownership of law firms. For other actions taken by the ABA House during the group's Midyear Meeting, see this recap.
