Government PLE
December 11th, 2006 at 23:51The government itself is the biggest provider of public legal education, at least in modern first-world democracies. And when I tell people in the United States about my interest in PLE, they often think I’m talking about the drab brochures that various state and federal agencies produce. Things like these pamphlets on landlord and tenant law, open meetings, and victims’ rights from the Idaho Attorney General’s office. Those are PLE, no doubt. But they and their kind are not going to do the job.
The problem with “government PLE” is that, like government cheese, its purpose is to quell the turmoil that would come if the people had nothing at all. It’s there, in many cases, so that the people won’t bug the bureaucrats. Although I know there are examples to the contrary, and that some of the people who produce government PLE are admirable and creative public servants, political realities loom around all of this work. And political realities force neutrality and caution.
Neutrality would be fine except that in PLE you can’t be neutral—the law is a moving train. And while you could say that it’s the state’s role to promote an unimpeded course for the “law train,” that would ignore that our laws are carefully counterbalanced pairs of rights and responsibilities. Explaining a law neutrally is like explaining a gun by describing its physical characteristics: you’ve missed the point. Indeed, in law school you’ll hear laws get called “swords” or “shields” depending on how they’re used in a given situation. A neutral description of a law is appropriate only in the purest academic setting; and the PLE setting is the absolute opposite.
Caution would be fine except that to educate you can’t be cautious. Education requires stimulation, and caution is not stimulating. To even reach people in the first place you have to have a hook, and any good hook is built out of surprise or controversy. Government knows this, and when it does undertake to educate—about the effects of drugs, for example, or even the law—it’s comfortable being hookish and unreserved. But, again, political realities mean there will always be legal possibilities that worry whole swaths of the population. And there will be others that could cause nothing but headaches for the government to process. If these get explained by the state at all, it might be in plain text in a footnote on page 43 of an obscure, limited-run pamphlet.
Independent PLE, though plagued with some of the same difficulties due to funding realities, can take risks that government can’t. It can be biased, and so can breath life and relevance into the law. It can be reckless, and so can attract the attention of those it has to reach. And though I’m hardly saying here that government should not be doing PLE (it should be doing more, actually), we all need to remember that government carries baggage that independent organizations do not.

[…] The above paragraph is intended to help you, dear reader, understand why I’m taking issue with Ritchie’s use of the phrase “public servants” in his latest missive. […]

One of the problems with those little brochures that you find in the AG’s office and similar places is that they’re written by people like me. When I was interning at the Latah County Court Assistance Office, I was asked to write two brochures on Rules of Evidence and Criminal Procedure for those who used our office. Yeah, me– a second-year law student, exactly in the middle-ranking of the class wrote the pamphlets now in use for the CAO. That’s probably not a great idea.
And yes, the pamphlets are not enough; but try convincing American taxpayers to pay for it– don’t bother with Idahoan taxpayers– they don’t even want to pay for basic education.
December 13th, 2006 at 20:01
Precisely! Almost all public legal education in the US is done off of the side of someone’s desk. More often, it’s done off of the corner of the desk or even from the floor of the office (literally). And after every single other possible project has been addressed.
The Idaho Court Assistance Offices are an exception to this, as there are some very able, full-time people putting together some good resources. I don’t think it’s a big problem, really, that law students are doing some of the work. (Having anybody doing it that hasn’t been fully inculcated into lawyer and courthouse culture is probably good.) But it’s important to remember that the CAOs, and the court-based self-help movement generally, have come in response to judicial annoyance with pro se litigants—annoyance that eventually caused judges to face the facts. Court-based self-help support is not likely to be an engine for grassroots social change.
Independent efforts with community legal education at their heart have the advantage of being more isolated from politics and incubators for innovation. The nonprofit sector is just like the rest of the private sector: it lives half off of funding and half off of wild ideas. And public legal education needs those wild ideas the same as every other field does.
February 27th, 2007 at 21:13
[…] I’ve posted about government public legal education (PLE) programs (”govPLE,” which is usually too cautious, to the point of being unhelpful). And I’ve written, indirectly, about bar PLE when I posted about pro bono (although there’s more to say on “barPLE,” and I’ll get to that in the coming weeks). For now, though, here’s a little piece on PLE that hurts; that is, how a little information can be a bad thing. […]

I’ve got an Amazon gift certificate burning holes in my pocket,
and I want to get the most bang for my buck.
Enter the Secret Amazon Web Pages:
http://tinyurl.com/38sojf
This is where you’re going to find the “latest sales, rebates, and limited-time offers” from
Amazon, and you can score some pretty deep discounts if you’re a savvy shopper.
Next, there’s the special Sale link. This is open every Friday, and ONLY on Fridays.
You can find the same good discounts here as you would in hidden Deals, although some
Fridays you can really get lucky and make off like an Amazon bandit - I’ve seen discounts
there as low as 75% off sticker price.
