Friday's Low Bono roundtable was interesting, as after we pondered the BOG's tabling of the Mission Statement proposed changes, we circled around the issue that our legal community's various charitable efforts were very praiseworthy but also a reflection of how screwed up our legal system is. Examples were provided to me that it's hard practicing in multiple counties because procedures differed; on the one hand, this might allow for local preferences, on the other hand this drove up costs as it restricted who can effectively practice where (and everywhere reinvented their own processes). Because some statewide utility for basic court procedures (e.g. divorce) might improve things but there are countervailing interests, plus startup costs.
