Chapter 4 Question 3

Wheelan recalls another author in this chapter, Milton Friedman. Friedman wrote a book called Capitaism and Freedom. In the novel, Friedman recounts the exchange of a economist saying that the Amerian Bar Association should be made easier, so that people who aren't the top of the class or the smartest can still pass it and become lawyers, therefore creating more affordable legal services. I think this would be a great idea! The lawyers in the room that he said this too, did not. But I really like the analogy that this economist used. Lawyers are Cadillacs. They are super nice, but not everyone can afford them, and if the only kind of transportation then are Cadillacs, well then transportation rates will go down. I think that people should have the option to more affordable legal services, and it would also not discourage people from becoming lawyers, more people would be able to go for it and become lawyers. Also, you get what you pay for. If you aren't willing to spend a lot of money of legal services or you are not able, a mediocre lawyer is better than no lawyer at all.
