This morning’s JURIST Paperchase notes that courts are responding to the increased numbers of pro se litigants by holding educational conferences, such as a recent one held in Tennessee (as covered in the Leaf-Chronicle on July 7, 2003) and creating informational websites (such as the useful Wisconsin Self-Help Center, which has recources for people considering or in the process of representing themselves). I’ll have much more to say about this healthy trend — brought on in most states by necessity rather than virtue, and by the courts rather than the bar — when I return from a short vaction later this week. Meanwhile, check out an article from Nolo.com on making the courthouse more user-friendly; my own article Supersize Small Claims
