The overall project does not conflict with the legal environment and conforms with the law.

Projects that scored highly exhibited these qualities

Examples of projects that scored highly

Projects that scored poorly exhibit these shortcomings
Projects that work in conflict with other legal workers, have an inability to coordinate goals with other players, and a poor understanding of the legal framework. Projects that did not explain how they will coordinate with other members in the legal system, or have shown no initiative in contacting other groups with the same goals.

Examples of projects that scored poorly
A project to fight arbitrary detention but the application shows no evidence of negotiating support from organisations needed for success.
