| Abstract | In recent years there has been a growing awareness of the importance of access to the courts in a functioning democracy.' As part of this trend, restrictions on advertising and solicitation by lawyers have come under serious attack. To date, however, these restrictions have been eased only to a limited degree and for only a tiny percentage of the bar.3 This Note will argue that current prohibitions upon advertising and solicitation imposed by the organized bar constitute an indefensible curtailment of essential information which violates the First Amendment. It will propose a new Canon 2 to the Code of Professional Responsibility which removes nearly all restrictions and conforms to constitutional requirements. Finally, the likely impact of such a revision upon the structure of the legal profession will be explored. |
