10.27.09 – Wall Street Journal – proponents and critics of the movement to provide a “Civil Gideon” in the U.S. - a right to counsel for the poor in non-criminal matters that could gravely affect their health, economic security, and/or family integrity - are closely watching the implementation of a California pilot pro...gram that will guarantee access to counsel in some civil cases. The program, to be funded by an increase in some state court fees, has prompted its foes to predict an increase in litigation and other costs, while supporters argue that the opposite will occur as lawyers for the poor will help them to better navigate the justice system and ease the burden on courts. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB12565999
