Rural Legal Research, Creighton Legal Information Center (Omaha, Nebraska, March 1977). An Exemplary Project.
Stuart, Lorrie; Wise, H. Lake
Established to help solve the problems of rural attorneys in Nebraska via mail and telephone research services, the Creighton Legal Information Center (CLIC) is described in this manual in terms of project development and organization; project operations; replication and policy issues; costs and project budgeting; and program results. Specifically, Chapter Two traces the project's development, describing CLIC's physical and administrative organization and the types of equipment used by the project; Chapter Three details the procedures involved in responding to user requests for services and information; Chapter Four discusses a variety of replication and policy issues, including program design, organizational and operational alternatives available to other states initiating such a project; Chapter Five summarizes CLIC's past and current budgets, and describes the specific staff and equipment considerations which are relevant to a planner constructing a budget for a new project; Chapter Six focuses on the impact of CLIC--its market penetration, user demand, and value as a means of legal education, including guidelines for projecting user demand and evaluating the services. Cited as CLIC improvements are: legal research tailored to user needs; centralized research services using law school resources; special in-depth projects to improve criminal justice procedures; and continuous monitoring and evaluation.
