Why our work is needed

በጣም ብዙ ነዋሪዎች ያለ ጠበቃ ጥቅም በፍርድ ቤት እየታዩ ነው። ብዙውን ጊዜ, ይህ በሃይል ሚዛን መዛባት ምክንያት ተባብሷል. ለምሳሌ፣ በዲሲ አከራይ-ተከራይ ፍርድ ቤት 12% ብቻ ተከራዮች ጠበቃ ሲኖራቸው፣ 95% አከራዮች ተወክለዋል።

  

የውጪ ቀለበት 12% ተከራዮች አረንጓዴ ከጠበቃ ውክልና ጋር (ጥቁር አረንጓዴ) እና 88% ያለ (ቢጫ) ያሳያል። የውስጥ ቀለበት 95% አከራዮች በጠበቃ ውክልና (ጥቁር አረንጓዴ) እና 5% ብቻ ያለ (ቢጫ) ያሳያል።
ጠበቆች ካላቸው እና ከሌላቸው ግለሰቦች መካከል ያለውን የውጤት ልዩነት የሚያሳይ የአሞሌ ገበታ። ጠበቆች ያሏቸው ግለሰቦችን የሚወክሉ ጥቁር አረንጓዴ ቡና ቤቶች ጠበቃ የሌላቸውን ግለሰቦች ከሚወክሉ ቢጫ አሞሌዎች በእጅጉ ይረዝማሉ።

በቤተሰብ ፍርድ ቤት፣ ከጠበቃ ጋር የሚቀርቡ ወገኖች ጠበቃ ከሌላቸው ወገኖች በተሻለ ሁኔታ የተሻለ ውጤት አላቸው።

በዲሲ የቤት ውስጥ ብጥብጥ ቅርንጫፍ እና የቤተሰብ ፍርድ ቤት የጥበቃ ትዕዛዝ የሚፈልጉ ግለሰቦች የጠበቃ ውክልና ሲኖራቸው የመሳካት እድላቸው ከሁለት እጥፍ ይበልጣል (27% pro se; 62% ውክልና)። የልጅ ማሳደጊያ ትዕዛዞችን የሚፈልጉ ወላጆች ሲወከሉ ስኬታማ የመሆን እድላቸው ከአራት እጥፍ በላይ ነው (10% ፕሮሴ፣ 43% ተወክሏል)።

    Happy birthday?
    InterRogerTory: Dear Roger, I just celebrated a milestone birthday! Well, “celebrated” might not be the right word; my friend told me that she and some other friends were planning a surprise party for me, and it turned out that the surprise was that there wasn’t a party! I relied on my friend telling me that… Read more: Happy birthday?

    InterRogerTory: Dear Roger, I know that living in a multi-unit building means that there will be noise. I have neighbors with dogs, and I am totally cool with the occasional barking. Getting to pet the pups makes up for the noise. And I love my home. I have a really long hallway where my cats… Read more: In home bowling league

    InterRogerTory: Response: Dear Overwhelmed, If you really want to make it stop, you can unsubscribe from each organization’s mailing list. Federal law, the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, requires each “commercial electronic mail” to include a way to opt out of receiving future emails. But please don’t!
