The Self-Help Center of the Utah State Courts: An Essential Component of Access to Justice: A model for remote services delivery, the Center uses phone and Internet-based technologies to help people self-represent and win cases.

The Utah State Courts' Self-Help Center provides information to help individuals--including older adults--to understand their rights and responsibilities, and to help them resolve legal problems if they cannot afford an attorney or choose not to hire one. The Center is a model for statewide remote-services delivery. It uses telephone and Internet-based technologies (email, text, and website), and interacts with self-represented individuals, the courts, the legal community, libraries, social services entities, and other government and community partners.
