Procedural Justice and Effective Court Practices in Small Claims Cases

A multi-phase study designed to assess and evaluate litigants' perceptions of procedural justice, effective case presentation practices, and the role of self-help centers and other forms of prior legal consultation in small claims cases. Further, the study will examine the relationships these factors may have to case outcomes and litigants' ratings of court performance.
