Abstract:

Fountain analyzes impacts that LegalZoom is having on the legal profession. She discusses how lawyers use it in the execution of their professional duties and examples of litigation yielded from its application. She also examines the role of State Bar Committees in the adoption of legislation for safeguarding lawyers and their clients. From these points, she generated her conclusions about the consequences of LegalZoom’s continued use, particularly from the clients’ end.
