On August 22, 2014, the American Bar Association’s Standing Committee on the Delivery of Legal Services published a report titled The Self-Help Center Census: A National Survey addressing the usefulness of the country’s approximately 500 centers that help those representing themselves in the court system.

Given the ABA’s copyright, however, LPR is unable to provide any of the data or conclusions contained in the report.  But because LPR believes that the availability of assistance to litigants by these self-help centers (generally low-income litigants) is so important, we provided the link to the report above and urge legal consumers to review it.
