How we work
The same standards as a good court
We tell you the truth, even when it is hard to hear. That includes telling you when a project should stop.
Our principles
Access to justice
We ask whether each idea makes the court easier for the public to use.
Integrity
We give the advice we would give if it were our own court.
Fairness
We check for conflicts before we start and tell you about any we find.
Openness
We show you our sources and how we reached our advice.
Honesty
A second senior advisor reviews major recommendations before you see them.
Care with public money
We scope only what you need and tell you when a cheaper option will work.
Integrity first
Our standards
- We tell you about our vendor partnerships up front.
- We disclose potential conflicts up front, and we turn down work that would put us on both sides of the same bid.
- We commit the people we can deliver.
- We compete on our own merits, not a competitor's failure.
- We recommend the work you need, not extra work.
- We share bad news plainly.
Access to justice
We support work that helps underserved communities and people without lawyers. Talk to us about our access to justice initiatives.
