An Ohio Example n What is Ohio currently using for online intake n New development using the A 2 J Author® Tool n Integration with Pika Case Management 38
Legal Aid of Western Ohio (LAWO) Current Intake System n Walk-in n Hotline n Web-based 39
Legal Aid of Western Ohio (LAWO) Current Intake System (continued…) n n Nearly 9, 000 online applications in 2007 Web makes up approximately 30% of all intake traffic 40
LAWO’s A 2 J Author® Intake TIG n Legal Aid of Western Ohio (LAWO) submitted a $30, 000 TIG application in 2007 in order to: ¡ Provide the opportunity for all providers to “share” in the intellectual capital and investment made by Iowa and LSC; ¡ Provide Ohio’s legal services providers with 24/7 online intake capabilities via a link through the LAWO website, as well as the Ohio Legal Services statewide website; ¡ Provide people in need with the ability to contact legal aid at all hours of the day and night. 41
Ohio’s Replication of Iowa’s A 2 J Author® Intake Template 42
The “Script”… n The script from Iowa’s initiative was used as the “starting point” for the Ohio intake initiative. n Modified as needed, with input from Legal Aid Line intake staff and LAWO attorneys. n The script will be reviewed by all participating Ohio programs and will be edited based on the individual intake process for each program. 43
LAWO’s A 2 J Author® Intake TIG n User will complete the interview. n The information gathered from the interview will be passed to Legal Aid Line’s Pika case management system by utilizing a custom-written piece of code called a “transform” that converts the. anx file to a. php file. * n The generated data file is then “held” in a Pika staging table for review by intake staff, then it is transferred to the appropriate office. n Transforms are, and should be, customizable by program based on elements (variables) in Pika, and are based on LSXML principles. 44 *Transform written by John Mayer, Computer-Assisted Legal Instruction
LAWO’s A 2 J Author® Intake TIG (continued…) n Intake staff can then review the case before it is accepted into the program’s Pika case management system by utilizing a piece of code developed by the Ohio Legal Assistance Foundation (Ty Acker). ¡ Checks for conflicts and confidentiality issues. ¡ Follows the same intake process as the Hotline. 45

Ohio Web Intake
Advantage of A 2 J Author® Intake Time Savings n It is estimated that once fully implemented, the A 2 J Intake tool will save the client information gathering step; thus, shortening the intake process by 15 -20 minutes, per client. n A 2 J Intake will be available 24/7, which provides potential clients with a way to contact legal services outside of regular business hours; thus, potentially reducing the amount of call traffic (and waits on hold). 48
Access through Ohio Legal Services Statewide Website n Link for LAWO (and other participating providers) will be available under the “Find Ohio Legal Help” directory section of the Ohio Legal Services website. Click here to complete the 49 online intake application
Project Management n Best practices in project management will be applied to all stages and phases of the Ohio A 2 J Author® Intake project. n Actively using: ¡ ¡ Microsoft Project Issue Tracker (Kaivo tool) Go. To. Meeting / Go. To. Webinar Other: Poverty Law Survey Tool 50
