Report on Limited Scope Legal Assistance with Initial Recommendations (2001)

About this report

This report from the Commission's Limited Representation Committee studies limited scope legal assistance, often called “unbundling,” where a lawyer handles only part of a client's civil legal matter.

It analyzes how unbundling was being practiced, clarifies the roles and duties of everyone involved, including the client, the attorney, the court, and opposing parties, and offers initial recommendations to the bar and the courts to make legal help more available to people of low and moderate means.
