The Equal Access Unit of the Center for Families, Children & the Courts has materials available for courts, court-based self-help programs, and other nonprofit providers of legal self-help services.
The materials include sample instructional handouts developed by local courts, translations, brochures, program models, evaluation tools, and ideas for setting up a self-help center.
The State Bar of California, along with the Legal Aid Association of California and the Administrative Office of the Courts, presents the 2012 Pathways to Justice Conference. The main conference on June 7 and 8 will take place at UC Hastings College of the Law in the David Snodgrass Hall. Pre-conference sessions on June 6 and the LAAC Awards of Merit Reception on June 7 with be held at the AOC headquarters in San Francisco.
Pathways to Justice brings together staff, board members and volunteers from legal services and pro bono providers, self-help centers, small claims advisors services, lawyer referral services, law schools and other justice partners. The conference offers workshops and network opportunities that help participants improve access to justice in California. Because the AOC is unable to fund the California Conference on Self-Represented Litigants this year, we encourage self-help workers to attend this conference if they can.
For more information please see the Pathways to Justice Conference website, which includes a page about a limited number of scholarships.
