Student Legal Consultation: Needs Analysis
Students will be able to determine their legal needs by the legal advice given to them in their consultation.

Indicator
Student Satisfaction With Legal Needs Analysis

At least 90% of student surveys should show ratings of 5 on the LIKERT scale.

Finding
Students Understand Their Legal Needs
98% of students surveyed indicated a 5 on a LIKERT scale showing they "strongly agree" that their legal consultation identified their legal needs. This exceeded the 90% expectation.
