Thanks Matthew!! You may like the next bit too as we try to unpick the relationship between legal needs & legal capability. Not properly understanding action/outcome/needs is kind of why we embarked on the whole legal capability thing... Hopefully some answers hidden in the data?

This was a lot of fun. Excited to be finally showing off our work in this area. The tech isn’t new, but used well it can be a very cost effective way to improve the court user experience and increase access to justice. Interested in leaning more? Reach out!

Very interesting report on Debt & Eviction by Lisa Whitehouse & Dr Tracey Varnava financialfairness.org.uk/docs?editionId… Some too familiar themes around inaccessible process, low trust/confidence, escalating problems & need to better reflect needs/capabilities through regulation/reform/design/data
