This research project by CLEO, in partnership with McGill University and the Montreal Cyberjustice Laboratory and with funding from the Department of Justice, examines whether court forms completed using CLEO\u2019s Guided Pathways differ in quality from forms completed using standard blank fillable PDFs.<\/p>\n

The randomized controlled trial focuses on Family Law Rules Form 8: Application (General). Participants are randomly assigned to complete the Form 8 using either CLEO’s Guided Pathway (a free, online guided-interview tool) or the standard blank fillable form.<\/p>\n

Everyone who completes the study receives 2 hours of free legal services<\/strong> with a family lawyer to review and correct their Form 8.<\/p>\n

The study is currently recruiting participants. Share our pre-screening questionnaire<\/a> with your clients who may be interested.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
