Due to recent historic revenue growth, the New York Interest on Lawyer Account Fund (IOLA) finds itself with a generational opportunity to enhance the delivery system of civil legal aid in New York. The IOLA Board of Trustees approved the development of a plan that would increase coordination, innovation, and capacity in the sector, known as the Justice Infrastructure Project. Consistent with the IOLA Fund’s mission, this Project seeks to ensure that every New Yorker with a legal problem has clear and timely access to high quality legal information, advice, and representation. The initial phase of that Project seeks to learn from community-based organizations and other stakeholders across New York. As one mechanism for gather such feedback, IOLA developed this survey for NYC community-based organizations.

Your responses to this survey will assist IOLA in evaluating, designing and developing innovations, technology, coordination, collaboration and other investments to improve access to civil justice in New York.
