Michael Strauss is mentioned in a January, 2020 Illinois Bar Journal Presidents Page article, “If You Build It, They Will Come, Limited Scope Representation is Working in Iowa. Why Not in Illinois?” by ISBA President, David B. Sosin. The following are excerpts of the article:
“From our conversations with Iowa State Bar Association leaders and principals from Iowa-based, ‘The Law Shop’… it appears that Iowa’s and Illinois’ problems with access to justice are similar. Like Illinois, the Iowa State Bar Association has opposed ABA proposals to open the practice of law to nonlawyer fee sharing and law firm ownership.”
“Second Vice-President Anna Krolikowska, Family Law Section Chair Michael Strauss, Young Lawyers Division representative Karen VanderMeer, and I [ Sosin] met with The Law Shop cofounders Amy Skogerson and Andrea McGinn to gain insight into how limited scope representation could be a major part of our members’ tool kits.”
