Just as the medical profession advocates preventive health care, so too by entering into these partnerships with health care providers, the legal profession can advance a 'preventive law' strategy for addressing clients’ social and economic problems and thereby improve clients’ health and well-being, especially those from low-income and other under-served communities.
