  • There is no good reason that a government-sustained cartel should be able to decide who may practice law. If consumers want to take a chance with Bertram Brown that should be up to them.

  • That assumes that consumers are capable of determining the ability of Bertram Brown to practice law. If a consumer is unable to make an informed choice there exists a great potential for fraud.

  • What sort of society assumes that consumers are not able to determine what is in their best interest? Paternalist? Authoritarian? Totalitarian?

  • A society that recognizes an information imbalance?
