Challenging Legal Monopoly in North Carolina: Exposing NC State Bar & Legislature

The Justice for All Project aims to overcome restrictions on legal advice, ensuring access for all. Founded in 2020, it opposes barriers limiting accessibility. In North Carolina, legal challenges are worsened by regulatory bodies like the NC State Bar and laws that overly shield attorneys. Despite these challenges, the project advocates for legislative reforms and defends First Amendment rights. The NC State Bar's stealth practices, sanctioned by law, may foster a perception of neglect. Show your support for expanding legal access at https://ij.org/case/north-carolina-upl/.
