Legal Help Eligibility Screener

Route enquiries fairly: matter type, means band, urgency, and prior advice.

5 questions · 1 page · about 2 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start

Clinics and pro-bono programmes drown in eligibility triage done by email. This screener structures it respectfully: matter type against the programme's scope, household means in dignity-preserving bands, urgency with deadlines named, and prior advice sought – producing a routable enquiry without an intake interview's cost.

The scope-mismatch answers matter too: the pattern of help sought that the programme cannot give is the evidence for the next funding application.
