Satisfaction with legal
services in rural areas of the
Northeast is highest where
incomes and population are
both declining, according to
a study in nine states.
Opinions regarding use of
and satisfaction with legal
services were obtained from
over 2,000 interviews in
selected rural areas of the
Northeast. Directing the
studies were social science
researchers with the nine
state universities of Penn

Researchers are not sure
whether the satisfaction with
legal services in areas of
declining income and
population is due to
availability of the service or
to the views of people living
in such rural areas.
Charles O. Crawford of
Penn State reported
residents of stabilized
population and income areas
had “average” satisfaction
with legal services.

services were residents of
areas with expanding
population and income, Dr.
Crawford claimed.
“Although the effects of
age were not significant,
they were generally in a
predicted direction” he
stated. “Older persons
tended to be more satisfied
with legal services than
younger people.”
Household heads with the
least education and lowest
incomes in expanding sites
were the least likely to use a
private, attorney. These
people also were the most
likely to experience
problems in using legal
services.
This suggests, Crawford
commented, that the ex
panding sites are the ones
where people m disad
vantaged households ex
perience the greatest
problems in getting private
legal counseling.

“This finding indicates a
need for further research on
the impact of an area’s
development status on use of
services by persons from the
more disadvantaged
households,” he stated.
And he added that
educational level of
household heads showed no
consistent relationship to
satisfaction with legal
services. Like educational
level of household heads,
income showed no clear
relationship to satisfaction
with legal services.
Type of legal service was
defined as “private at
torney” and “other”. The
higher the income, the
greater the likelihood of
using private attorneys.
