Civil justice problems are common and widespread. Source: Community Needs and Services Study

Most justice problems are not understood as legal, so people seldom seek legal help. Source: Community Needs and Services Study

Justice problems can cascade in costly ways. Research from the UK finds that justice problems can trigger one another, and can precipitate – Homelessness, and consequent recourse to shelters. – Ill health, and consequent use of medical services. – Lost employment, and consequent use of public benefits. Disability and other indicators of vulnerability appear to accelerate cascades of problems.

All are Evidence - Based Metrics are built in from the outset. We need to constantly evaluate what’s working, what can be improved, and what needs to be jettisoned.

All I’m saying is now is the time to develop the technology to deflect asteroids.
