Why we're measuring legal capability | The PULS
In the third of our video series about the PULS, we explain how it goes a step beyond the legal needs survey by looking at legal capability.
We're pleased to share our third Public Understanding of Law Survey (PULS) video update on how the PULS differs from a legal needs survey, by also measuring legal capability. We explore how legal capability is an important dimension in understanding why people do what they do when faced with legal problems.
We’ve reached over 5,000 Victorians in the field with only 1,000 to go, exploring how they see, understand and engage with the law.
We look forward to sharing PULS findings with you later this year.
See our previous updates looking at rethinking the experience of law and what legal needs surveys are, and read more about the PULS.
