PLP is not a law firm, but an agency that provides access to 87 at torneys the agency has on tap. An individual pays $66 a year; a busi ness pays $96. “In return, subscribers can call us at any time — 24 hours a day, if they believe they have a legal problem — and we will put them in touch with one of our attorneys who is a specialist in that problem — taxes, real estate, divorce, drunken driv ing, whatever.” The firm was founded in 1977 by D. Kay Mall-Lewis, who is not an attorney, but was married to one, “He was a public defender and an assistant district attorney,” Leslie explained. “At cocktail parties with him and his friends, Kay learned a lot about how attorneys set fees — things like estimating the value of a diamond in a client’s ring or by the cut of a suit, conversations like ‘How AUTO INSURANCE FOR AGGIES: much do you charge for a divorce, George? Great, I’ll charge that too.’ “She heard about favors between political buddies, gratuities like bot tles of booze, and all this struck her as pure graft, not something minor. ” After she and her first husband were divorced, she moved to California, remarried, and she and her new husband, Ray Croxen, set up a consumer-oriented legal ser vice firm that would “rip off the veil of mystique shrouding the legal pro fession,” Leslie said. They charge $250 to $400 for in corporation, which normally costs $450 to $1,500. An uncontested di vorce that would cost $250-$550 elsewhere on the West Coast costs $150-$250. As for their Christmas gift idea, the certificates are available from PLP, but the firm is working on ar rangements to sell them through gift shops and department stores. Blair Melvin of The Law Store, a similar legal services program run by attorneys, said the gift certifi cates sounded like a good idea. “I don’t see anything wrong with it, if the service is legitimate. That’s quite creative, and a really nice gift.” (.'all: (Foornr V\VI>1> I'armri's InsiiraiK-v Croup H00 S.

V | (Across from the Chicken Oil Co.) 846-1393 Women s group vows work against Carter United Press International WASHINGTON — Failure to successfully promote ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment has prompted the board of the Na tional Organization for Women to oppose President Carter’s renomi nation, it was reported Tuesday. But NOW’s 27-member executive board, at a weekend meeting in New York, did not decide which candidate to support, The New York Times reported. The policy-making branch of the 110,000-member organization also decided to oppose Carter on grounds that abortion rights have been restricted in his administration. The Times quoted board member Sue Errington of Muncie, Ind., as saying the group will work against Carter even if he is the Democ ratic nominee running against a Republican who opposes women’s issues because, “He must be held accountable.” Congress extended the ratification deadline of the proposed amendment, which would prohibit sex discrimination, from October 1978 to June 30, 1982. Three more states need to pass the amend ment before it can become law. The board’s decision is scheduled to be announced later this week. The newspaper indicated the group’s leadership is leaning toward Sen. Edward Kennedy. &ST 3 l «i SEE IT.
