  This paper discusses an internet-based system for enabling people to
self-assess their legal rights in a given situation, and a development
methodology for such systems. The assessment process is based on a formal model
of the relevant jurisprudence, exposed to the user through an interview. The
model consists of a multi-dimensional space whose dimensions represent
orthogonal jurisprudence aspects, and a decision graph that guides the user
through that space. Self-assessment systems can revolutionize the way legal aid
organizations help their clients, as they allow these organizations to deliver
personalized help at internet scales. The proposed approach is validated
through an implementation of a model for workers' rights when their employment
ends. This model, describing Israeli law and developed in cooperation with a
worker rights NGO, was ratified by external experts as accurate enough to be
useful in real cases.
