Prepaid legal services have the potential of securing full realization of citizens' rights and of providing the rapidly increasing number of lawyers in Canada the means to earn a livelihood. Proponents of the legal services plan argue that money may be a far more potent weapon in litigation than the merits of a particular case; with insured legal services economic inequality may cease to be an obstacle to equal justice under law. The United Grain Growers Insurance Services Organization of Winnipeg, Manitoba, has a legal services plan. The basic plan offers consultation with a lawyer at $20 or less per visit and a maximum of $80 per year, preparation and/or review if wills, conveyance of a residence (to a maximum of $250 per year). Benefits include searching title, preparing transfer or agreement-to-sell documents, examination of survey certificates, and examining insurance policies. A comprehensive plan is also available. The United Grain Growers plan may well serve as a model for rapid expansion of prepaid legal service plans in Canada. To determine the need for prepaid legal services, a survey conducted by the University of Alberta distributed three proposed prepaid legal service plans among a sample population of 400,000 Albertans. Over two-fifths of sample approved of the concept of a prepaid legal service plan: about 26 percent indicated that they would subscribe to one of the proposed plans.
