Abstract
The Access to Justice project advanced research into the comparative effectiveness of different forms of legal assistance, namely pro se support and full representation. Her Justice partnered with the Center for Human Services Research (CHSR) at SUNY Albany to determine whether clients who received legal help of a kind other than Full Representation (i.e., Pro Se support) achieved their own goals with the same, less than, or greater regularity than those who received full representation. The steps taken in implementing this project, and the results found, are provided in this report. This knowledge will help Her Justice ensure that they are matching the best service to each client, and represents an important contribution to the access to justice effort more broadly, in particular in the area of research around civil legal services.
