摘要
Unbundling, also known as limited-scope representation, has been adopted by judges, the organized legal profession, and divorcing parties. Unbundling is a legal access approach to better and more affordably serve unrepresented divorce litigants as well as to assist overburdened and underfunded courts. This article will focus on another critical benefit of unbundling: the ability of divorcing professionals to provide information and support to divorcing families to help reduce family conflicts. This article shall discuss four unbundled peacemaking roles that lawyers can play: (1) Collaborative Lawyer; (2) Lawyer Coach for Self-Represented Litigants; (3) Lawyer for Mediation Participants; and (4) Preventive Legal Health Care Provider. Key Points for the Family Court Community: Overview of limited-scope lawyering roles Impact of unbundled representation on peacemaking Best practices of noncourt lawyering
