Nora Freeman Engstrom

Nora Freeman Engstrom, a law professor at Stanford specializing in legal ethics and access to justice, delves into the critical issue of inadequate legal representation. Three-quarters of litigants are unrepresented in significant civil cases, and many face daunting challenges, such as eviction. Engstrom discusses potential solutions like non-lawyer representation and AI in legal services, urging systemic reforms to bridge the gap in legal accessibility. She also highlights the historical evolution of legal aid and the need for innovative approaches to support the unrepresented.
