Herrera ...............1........................ Millions of Americans are too rich for subsidized legal services but too poor to afford a private attorney. These near poor struggle to navigate the legal system much in the same way as the poor, but they have fewer options. The result is that fewer than one in five legal needs of low-income clients are addressed by a lawyer. The legal profession has an obligation to address this lack of accessibility to the judicial system. Legal services leaders should expand their approach to the delivery of legal services to include affordable models that benefit low- and moderate- income clients who are ineligible for free legal aid. Pro bono models do not sufficiently address the inadequacy of affordable legal services by the private bar. Discussion about legal services must shift from a narrow focus on free legal services to a more inclusive focus on the needs of both the legal consumer and the private legal provider. This shift from a pro bono to a low bono legal services model would improve access to the judicial system by low- and moderate-income Americans.
