90% of Americans can not afford to pay $200-$600 per hour for an attorney.
Almost 50 years ago, Harland Stonecipher began disrupting the legal system to ensure that every American has access to their rights.
Mr. Stonecipher once took a friend to a courthouse to witness our justice system at work.
On one side of the courtroom was a group of attorneys; on the other side was a group of shackled men.
The judge would call a name, and a prisoner and an attorney would step forward to the judge's bench, both meeting for the first time.
After watching this procedure several times, Mr. Stonecipher turned to his friend and asked, Doe this look like justice to you?
Those shackled men could not receive justice. The attorney had never even seen their files until they were in front of the judge.
Mr. Stonecipher was innovative in changing the legal system because he felt that every American deserves Equal Justice Under Law.
