The
new Law App (“the LApp”) heralds the
Uberization of legal services.
The
LApp will enable you to summon the lawyer
of your choice who will not only provide legal advice at an agreed hourly rate
but also take you to where you want to go at no extra charge. This service
transforms the much-maligned billable hour into the essential ingredient of fee
transparency.
If
you do not like the advice, you can stop
the clock, get out, hail another lawyer or just discuss your legal problem with
an Uber driver of your choice. There will be no more waiting in shabby lawyer’s
offices; you select the quality of the vehicle, the uniform and even the
disposition of the lawyer/driver (“LD”).
The
clock only starts once the LD with the requested specialisation arrives at your door.
The ability to review the LD is a Premium Feature of the LApp
available at an additional charge. Due to its popularity, extra servers are
being laid on in Arizona.
The
LApp also offers judges (JDs”) and
mediators (“MDs”).
A
JD will pick you up and determine your dispute during
the journey. The JDs will be just as cantankerous as any taxi driver. However,
you can end the tirade at any time, an option not available in court.
An
MD will conduct the mediation during the journey. Some mediations may need to start off in two separate vehicles taking different routes to avoid unpleasant
exchanges at traffic lights or in heavy traffic.
There
are plans for volunteer juries to be empanelled
to assist in making a decision in your matter. A coach with a well-stocked bar and an enticing destination
should eliminate reluctant jurors.
You
will arrive at your destination with your legal problem solved without the
usual delay.
