This daylong Bootcamp will offer a deep dive in developing and maintaining court based self-help centers. Utilizing the SRLN Policy Bootcamp Guide and other resources, the morning will be devoted to a workshop style approach to explore the whys and hows of court self-help, and challenges attendees are currently facing. The afternoon will take a deeper dive in key areas such as intake, self-evaluation, capacity building, simplification, language and disability access, data collection, communications/branding/alignment with legal aid, and funding strategies to grow the program.
As courts continue to face fiscal challenges, maintaining and developing self-help that supports court users with one-on-one services (whether remote or in-person) and aids courts in developing simplification strategies is as critical as general asynchronous online information available through websites.
This program will be useful to the those new to self-help, as well as veteran self-help providers meeting today's unique challenges. Attendees will receive comprehensive resources to support operations and aid in external communications.
