Scrutiny grows over Arizona’s non-lawyer-owned law firms

Feb. 23
More from this show

An Arizona program allows non-lawyers to own law firms. It’s a policy experiment through the Arizona Supreme Court that allows investors and other non-lawyers to own law firms.

Arizona is the only state in the country with a program like this, except for Utah, which scaled the effort back significantly in 2024 after it ran into problems.
