Default Re: Quick question about legal services for the poor

Forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but licensing is a mechanism employed by groups of professionals to keep the price for their labor high. Easier bar = greater supply of lawyers = lower hourly fees. Here in Cleveland rates for many are as low as $150-$175, I wouldn't want to see that go any lower with more competition from less capable lawyers.
