Episode 19: How to Grow from a Global Study Setback
Early this year, the A2J Lab was expanding globally for the first time, bringing its mission to study access to justice to both Kenya and Tunisia when a federal stop work order abruptly shut down the project. In this episode of Proof Over Precedent, we have no study results to report about the project that intended to look at whether prompt access to quality representation affects legal and social outcomes for defendants in misdemeanors in the two African nations. Instead, we offer a discussion on the Lab's first global project, the intentions of the study and its progress through January this year, and the lessons learned from both an international project and the discontinuation of the study.
