Supreme Court rulings in the 1960s legalized group legal service plans

Evidence

American Bar Association limited experimentation with group legal services until the 1970s. Promoting the renewed interest in group legal plans were a series of Supreme Court rulings during the 1960s that held that restrictions could not be placed on group efforts to ensure legal representation for their members. Thus, associations could offer prepaid legal plans to their members, and unions could seek coverage for their members in collective bargaining. By the early twentyfirst century, more than 30 percent of Americans had some form of coverage. — G. Alan Tarr, Judicial Process and Judicial…, 749
