R. Regulating Fla. Bar 9-1.2 · 9-1. GENERALLY
STATEMENT OF POLICY AND PURPOSES
Text — October 1, 2026 edition
Every citizen of this state should have access to the legal system. A person’s ability to gain such access is enhanced by the assistance of and representation by an attorney duly licensed to practice law in this state. However, many persons simply do not seek legal assistance because of a failure to recognize the existence of a legal problem, inability to locate an attorney, fears of excessive cost of legal representation, or other reason. To this end, it is the policy of The Florida Bar to support the concept and to actively encourage the establishment, operation, growth, and development of legal services plans as 1 means of increasing a person’s ability to obtain legal services at an affordable cost in order to have the opportunity to better gain access to the legal system.
