To effectively assess the most urgent legal needs of the client communities in their service area and set priorities, every civil legal services organization should gather information from its clients, community agency colleagues, and relevant data sets. How do you do it? What has worked well? How do you go beyond written surveys to conduct a genuine assessment of legal need in your client communities? Panelists and participants will discuss strategies and methods that grantees employ to successfully identify the most critical legal needs of their client communities and establish program priorities.
