One important approach to help solve the crisis of 30 million litigants in our state courts each year completely without legal help is the use of nonlawyer navigators who come from communities outside the courts to assist the self-represented with their civil legal matters.  A panel of experts who have studied, and or created and run court based /affiliated programs will discuss how nonlawyers who come from the community provide essential services to self-represented litigants on their civil legal matters,    including describing national trends in this burgeoning innovative arena as well as outlining best practices for launching and expanding these programs.
