Michigan Legal Help
Description
Michigan Legal Help is a comprehensive database and resource center for individuals navigating legal troubles without representation. The goal of the project is to create usable tutorials and information sheets that help to clarify the legal process, provide guidance about how to file and process certain forms, and support individuals who are representing themselves in court. It is important to understand that Michigan Legal Help is not a substitute for representation, nor is it a legal office offering legal advice to clients. Rather, it functions solely as a hub for information that may be of use to community members as they work to resolve issues with the court. Many of the resources available can be found through the Self-Help section of the website, which organizes information by topic to assist individuals with navigation. Additionally, Michigan Legal Help has tools to help locate representation for those who cannot or should not represent themselves.
