The problem

Courts give people forms. Nobody gives them a rehearsal.

76%

of civil cases in the NCSC study had at least one self-represented party

92%

of low-income Americans’ civil legal problems received no or insufficient legal help

75%

of winning claimants in the Albany small-claims survey collected none of their judgment

Your research points to a gap between having a form and being ready to use it. Unshaken is built around rehearsal: explaining the facts, responding to questions, and understanding what comes next.

Sources cited in the product materials: NCSC, Landscape of Civil Litigation (2015); Legal Services Corporation, Justice Gap (2022); NYPIRG Albany Small Claims Survey (2024). These studies cover different populations; the Albany findings are local, not a national collection rate. These are access-to-justice findings, not measured results from Unshaken.
