Law21 has a great post on the future we are quickly headed toward where family courts are filled mostly with litigants that do not have lawyers. This future is fast approaching as the cost of legal services exceeds the budgets of most families. Unfortunately, we don’t have a system that works especially well for non-lawyers. The financial realities of the situation will eventually prevail and lawyers will be have a smaller and smaller role in the family courts according to Jordan Furlong, Editor-in-Chief of National magazine at the Canadian Bar Association.
