1. Define the Meraux intake boundary before reviewing calls
Meraux is a census-designated place in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana. That relationship matters when you decide which callers belong in a Meraux service-area review and which matters fall outside the firm’s intended geography. The available population estimate is eligibility evidence only; it cannot tell you how many people call a law firm, what type of legal help they seek, or whether additional intake coverage is needed. Intake Coach should therefore be evaluated against your firm’s own call categories and geographic rules, rather than a population-based assumption.
Recommended approach
Bring a clear service-area definition to the consultation. Specify whether your team treats Meraux, the rest of St. Bernard Parish, and other Louisiana locations differently. Ask how a reviewer would identify a location issue in a call, route it to the right owner, and record the decision without treating the Census population as a forecast.
