The President of the Wisconsin Bar Association claims he's just looking out for consumers: "People can get hurt when individuals without proper training or oversight handle their legal matters." Give me a break. The Bar Association boss represents lawyers' interests, and he advances those by keeping low-cost competition out. Also, lots of licensed lawyers cheat people and make mistakes. One Connecticut lawyer accumulated 44 complaints before the state revoked his license . In one of his cases, he cost his client $2,600 and crippled her credit rating by failing to pay a $900 tax bill. On my show tonight at 8 and 11 ET, as I mentioned earlier, I'll interview David Price, a Kansas City paralegal who went to jail for half a year because he helped 86- year old Eldon Ray write a letter defending himself against the charge of “unlicensed practice of architecture.” Licensing laws have a chilling effect on innovation, and that means consumers pay more. According to U. Minnesota public policy professor Morris Kleiner, licensing laws cost between $34.8 and $41.7 billion a year -- on the low end, that's more than $100 for every American. Wisconsin citizens are fortunate that their state has a weak "unlicensed practice of law" statute.
