Abstract: Distribution of legal services to the American public continues its skew to the top. Data show stunningly low levels of access to civil legal services for most people except for those at the very top in income.1 Low-income persons encounter barriers to accessing even no-cost legal services,2 while people in the middle three income quintiles face unmet legal needs that are almost as great as those of persons in the bottom twenty percent. At the same time, the percentage of legal resources devoted to individual people has fallen over the past half century as legal resources shift toward work on behalf of commercial entities.
