This book argues for the deregulation of the legal profession as a means to foster competition, innovation, and efficiency. The author, Clifford Winston, posits that opening up the legal market would lead to lower legal costs for consumers and a broader array of available legal services. The proposal aims to address the social costs associated with high legal fees and optimize the utilization of national labor resources by encouraging a more dynamic and competitive legal landscape.

The book presents a clear economic argument for reforming the legal profession. Its focus on deregulation suggests an approach that prioritizes market forces to improve service delivery and cost-effectiveness. The author's proposal is likely to appeal to those interested in public policy, economics, and the practicalities of legal service provision.
