Challenging Legal Monopoly in North Carolina: Exposing NC State Bar & Traditional Networking System

The Justice for All Project addresses constraints on legal advice, seeking to enhance access for all. Established in 2020, it opposes restrictions that hinder accessibility. In North Carolina, legal challenges are compounded by regulatory bodies like the NC State Bar and legislative statutes that excessively protect attorneys. Despite these hurdles, the project advocates for legislative reforms and upholds First Amendment rights. The NC State Bar's secretive procedures may contribute to a perception of indifference.
