ABSTRACT Personal plight legal practice includes all legal work for individual clients whose needs arise from disputes. This is the site of our worst access to justice problems. The goal of this project is to identify sustainable innovations that can make the services of personal plight law firms more accessible to all Canadians. Accessibility is vitally important, but it is not the only thing that matters in personal plight legal practice. Thus, this book seeks out innovations that not only improve accessibility, but also preserve or enhance service quality as well as law firms’ profitability.

ARGYLL AND BUTE COMMUNITY PLANNING PARTNERSHIP – Development Day, 19th September 2018 3.1 Mid September saw the members of Argyll and Bute Community Planning Partnership Management Committee travel to Inveraray for their annual informal Development Day. After partnership Chair Hazel Hendren of Police Scotland set the scene, partners had a discussion on CPP values before welcoming the Improvement Service for the day’s substantive session – Self Assessment Findings and Improvement Plan. As always working together, partners explored our strengths, our priorities, what we need to do to plan for improvement and the areas which need more work and focus, facilitated by the Improvement Service. This type of session is always helpful in the way that it provides the right kind of space for discussion – positive and encouraging but never afraid to challenge and to focus on areas of weakness.
