Summary

The goal of this chapter is to raise awareness for legal design evaluation, introduce existing theoretical frameworks in evaluation that can be used as templates for legal design evaluations, and recommend the next steps. It will provide strategies for defining and utilizing mixed methods data, quantitative data, and qualitative data. This chapter outlines the human-centered value and intended uses of Trauma-Informed Evaluation and Culturally Responsive Evaluation (CRE) and conclude with proposed suggestions for further efforts in legal design evaluations.
