| Sumario: | This transcript is a record of the proceedings of a conference organized to react to commissioned papers, which are published in the October 15, 1976 issue of the journal Law and Society Review. The papers were presented in abbreviated form on the morning of the first day of the conference. According to researcher Lester Brickman, the purpose of this conference is to react to the papers and to assist the conference consultants in devising research priorities for improving the delivery of legal services to middle class consumers. Researcher Charles H. Baron draws the attention of participants on characteristics of systems for eliminating the need for legal services. Research should be done to determine the relative costs and benefits of delegalization and of simplifying legal procedures. Researcher Douglas Rosenthal is of the opinion that merely removing lawyers from the process is not always going to make the problem easier or clearer or less expensive for the concerned recipient of the service, the one who has the need for the service.
