| About the Poverty Law Survey Tool Project In 2004 the Legal Services Corporation funded a grant to Legal Aid of East Tennessee to develop an Internet-based survey tool developed from public domain software exclusively to serve the Poverty Law Community. Pika Software developed the original tool using phpSurveyor version .98 (open source online survey software) following a set of software specifications developed with the help of our advisory group of poverty law community representatives. In 2007, NTAP received additional funding from LSC to enhance the tools usability and promote usage. The Poverty Law Survey Tool has been redeveloped by Openwave LLC, using LimeSurvey 1.48 (an updated version of phpSurveyor) following recommendations and feedback provided by the Survey Tool Advisory Board and user feedback. |

Poverty Law Surveys
The Poverty Law Survey Tool is a highly customized, internet based survey creation tool designed specifically for the legal aid community. Over one hundred legal aid organizations create poverty law surveys using the Poverty Law Survey Tool. Many users have successfully created and administered surveys and provided positive feedback. The Poverty Law Survey Tool is a great alternative to commercially available, subscription model internet survey tools. NTAP is pleased to offer use of this tool to legal aid programs at no cost. This tool aggregates the complex features available in commercial survey software. The recent redevelopment of a more user-friendly interface for creating poverty law surveys is nearing completion. NTAP provides training sessions on how to use this tool and user resources at lsntap.org.
