Initial focus points included:

• Use of legal data bases and search engines—measuring the effect of experience and formal education.
• Access of the public, to legal and related data bases.
• Equal footing, in drafting contingent fee agreements.
• Genuine control over bankruptcy reorganization fees.
• Helping the public connect with overseas lawyers.
• Promoting standard forms, with options; right to partially modify; and explanatory material. Examples might be loan documents, and will & trust forms.
• Shifting lawyers to more of a facilitator than a dominant actor, in court.
• Stepped up, systematic monitoring of judges, for signs of bias or corruption.

We formed in 2008, as a nonprofit LLC.

Shelved for several years, we reactivated in October 2014, to address an Indiana judicial retention vote, and underlying problems in bankruptcy and lawyer discipline.
