The program was designed as a three-year project to provide legal assistance for welfare recipients in the city of Meriden and to test specific hypotheses regarding the costs and effectiveness of the competing neighborhood law office and of the judicare methods of delivering legal services. In addition, the program was designed to test what became known as the 'family-lawyer concept', a stipulation that attorneys should explore with clients legal problems other than those presented, and to encourage the client to return to the attorney whenever other situations arose which might be solved through the law.
