This website was created
to provide valuable information, court forms, and
various resources for people who represent
themselves in court. It should be noted, however,
that self-representation should not be taken
lightly, and that there are many instances in
which hiring an attorney is a good idea. In fact,
we suggest that even if you use the forms provided
on this site, you still talk with an attorney
prior to submitting them to a court.
The
Self-Service Legal Center contains a lot of
information to help you help yourself. You will
find various court forms required by the courts
and instructions on completing them. You will also
find several court forms and other useful
documents that have been translated into Spanish
with the help of the Indiana Hispanic Law Project.
This website will also show you different ways to
find an attorney to assist you with your case; an
explanation of what mediation is and how it works
and a list of certified mediators; suggestions on
preparing for court; items that court staff can
and cannot help you with; web links to legal
dictionaries and other legal materials; links to
various courts in Indiana and the United States;
and links to other self-service sites.
