Here are answers to some common questions about our legal advocacy services. If you don't see your question answered here, please contact us directly.
While traditional legal representation focuses on addressing the specific legal needs of individual clients, legal advocacy takes a broader approach aimed at creating systemic change. Legal advocates work to address underlying causes of injustice through policy reform, impact litigation, community education, and coalition building. The goal is to create lasting solutions that benefit entire communities or populations, not just individual clients.
We select issues and cases based on several factors: the severity and scope of the injustice; the potential for creating meaningful precedent or systemic change; alignment with our expertise and resources; and most importantly, the priorities expressed by affected communities. We conduct thorough research to identify strategic opportunities where legal action can create significant impact.
We welcome partnerships with community organizations that share our commitment to social justice. Organizations can collaborate with us in various ways, including identifying emerging issues, connecting us with affected community members, participating in joint strategy development, supporting community education efforts, and joining advocacy coalitions. Please contact us to discuss potential partnership opportunities.
Advocacy campaigns vary significantly in duration depending on the complexity of the issue, the resistance to change, and the type of strategy employed. Policy reform initiatives might take several legislative cycles to achieve success. Impact litigation can take years to move through the courts. We approach advocacy with a long-term commitment while identifying opportunities for short-term victories along the way.
We evaluate success using multiple metrics that capture both immediate outcomes and long-term impact. These include specific policy changes, court decisions, shifts in public opinion, community empowerment, and measurable improvements in conditions for affected populations. We develop evaluation frameworks in collaboration with community partners to ensure our metrics reflect meaningful change from the perspective of those most affected.
