Shift to the Digital Paradigm Will Hornsby Unmet need Two tiers of law practice: corporate/institutional clients & personal plight lawyers Pro se and unbundling Inefficiencies of traditional model and digital design efficiencies

Client development Intake and screening Client education Form preparation Geographical barriers Ongoing client communication Dispute resolution Ancillary businesses

What is Unbundling? “The client is in charge of selecting one of several discrete lawyering tasks contained within the full-service package.” Forrest Mosten

Why do we care? Access to Justice remains a serious problem in the US and “…by providing limited service representation or ‘unbundled’ services in the area of civil law [we may be able to] stretch limited ‘free’ services and make for cost services affordable to a larger segment of our society. Kim Prochnau King County Superior Court Administrator
