This session will present the latest developments in a new methodology for evaluating the outcomes of systemic legal cases and projects (a.k.a., "impact work"). Tests in Virginia and Florida have shown that this tool can provide compelling insights into the successes and results that are achieved for low income communities by lawyers using strategic and systemic approaches to client problems. In addition, through conversations with expert evaluators, the tool encourages programs to learn and grow as a result of a constructive evaluation process.
