“More likely, the comprehensive law movement will remain to color and add to our understanding of what clients and society need and require from lawyers. It will become incorporated into mainstream legal practice as part of the usual work that lawyers provide for their clients. It will help lawyers reach their full potential as solvers of legal problems and dispute resolution professionals. It will help legal services consumers achieve greater satisfaction with the outcomes of legal matters, improve their lives, and maximize the functionality of their relationships. And it will thereby help
our society transform into the next phase of our evolution.” p.61
