1. Encourage the development of effective and economically sound methods for making legal services more readily available.
2. Protect the interests of the users of legal services and of the public of this state with a minimum of restriction on experimentation with new forms of organization, administration, or benefits.
3. Place the risk inherent in experimentation by new plans on promoters rather than on the consumers.
4. Permit and encourage the provision of legal services through persons other than professional insurers subject to practical and reasonable financial and regulatory requirements.
5. Permit and encourage fair and effective competition among the various systems of financing legal services.
6. Maintain a high level of quality and conformity to professional standards in the performance of legal services.
