Overall Research Project Description | Seniors across Florida have very diverse legal needs. Research assistants for this project will help organize and initiate a survey targeted at low-income seniors in Florida to collect data on what area of law they need the most assistance with (ex: probate, wills, trusts, health care, family law, bankruptcy, personal injury, etc.). The goal of this project is to understand whether the legal needs of low-income seniors are being met and potential paths to improved services. The Claude Pepper Elder Law Clinic at FSU College of Law provides legal services to low-income seniors so this data collection will assist the clinic in targeting unmet needs. |
Research Tasks | survey building, literature review, data collection, conducting interviews |
Skills that research assistant(s) may need: | Required: good communication skills, excellent writing skills, excel Recommended: an interest in social policy & aging |
Mentoring Philosophy | My mentoring philosophy is to develop a relationship founded on mutual respect by learning the mentee's interests and developing the research project in a way that invigorates those interests so that we both are excited to move forward and develop a unique research outcome. My goal is to give mentees ownership of their work so that the end result feels like their own developed product. I believe that promoting accountability enables the mentee to put their best efforts into the project. I see mentees as a valuable asset to research projects because I will count on you to bring a unique perspective to the table that will help me envision multiple possible research outcomes. I rely on your criticism of my work to develop a creative solution. |
