(4) Permit and encourage the providing 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; and
(6) Maintain a high level of quality and conformity to professional insurers subject to practical and reasonable financial and regulatory requirements.
