“I’d love to have time to visit the crime scene and do more legal research,” Mr. Jones said.
This quote from from today's NYT article states a truth; overburdened attorneys don't have the time to prepare cases. I have read similar quotes from attorneys assigned to family court cases. If our libraries are underutized, or if more self-represented visit the library than attorneys, let's look at the burdens placed on attorneys. Access to justice means many things--competent representation requires support. This blog is concerned with legal research; let's recognize that our libraries can only be used when an attorney has the time to walk down the hall to the library.
