Abstract:

The author’s experience as a State Bar officer has taken him across the state and legal profession as it’s represented in North Carolina. From his experience, Merritt notes the changing public perception of the legal profession in North Carolina. From a statewide level, he also notes how population shifts since 2015, emerging technologies, and opioid dependence crisis have impacted the quality and quantity of its legal services. This acknowledgement leads to information about a resource that can change the quality of this impact for lawyers and the public.
