Legal aid useful Christmas gift
United Press International
LOS ANGELES — A lawyer’s
annoyed ex-wife came up with a
Christmas present not even the
Neiman Marcus catalog is offering
— a gift certificate for legal services.
“It’s the perfect gift for a friend
who has a habit of assault and bat
tery,” jokes Kenneth Leslie of Pro
fessional Legal Plan of California.
“It’s a gag gift, ” he concedes, “but
it’s a serious service people can re
ally utilize.
“ People hear about it and laugh at
first, and then they say, ‘Hey, I
know somebody who can really use
that.”

entitle the recipient to telephone
legal counseling, which PLP hopes
will draw more clients for its sub
scription legal service in Los
Angeles, Orange and Ventura coun
ties.
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

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.”

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.
