Wisconsin team develops three new projects to assist self-represented litigants

The Wisconsin Court System reports.

The first project will be tested in the Tenth Judicial District, headquartered in Eau Claire. The project will involve providing services to self-represented litigants through the public libraries, with staff training provided by the State Law Library and local courts.

The second project will be tested in the Ninth Judicial District, headquartered in Wausau. This project will make use of videoconferencing to connect self-represented litigants with volunteer lawyers located in another county.

The third project will involve developing a self-help clinic in a county courthouse (location to be determined). The clinic will be staffed by volunteer lawyers and others, possibly with additional assistance from interested court staff.
