Self-Help Centers

Court self-help resources and self-represented litigant help.

Resources last verified: August 25, 2026

What this resource type means

Court-based self-help services can provide legal information, forms assistance, procedural help, and referrals for people who are representing themselves. They do not represent you in court or create an attorney-client relationship. California Courts explains that available services vary by court, so county-specific pages should be checked for hours, remote options, and the types of help offered locally.
