Volunteers Needed at the Court Self-Help Centers
Self-Help Centers are staffed by volunteer attorneys and AmeriCorps advocates and provide legal information and resources.
Access to Justice Rooms are staffed by volunteer attorneys and AmeriCorps advocates and provide limited legal services, advice, and resources in civil cases.
The Honolulu Access to Justice Room and the neighbor island Court Self-Help Centers continue to serve our communities by providing legal assistance through short-term limited legal services and legal information at no charge to those seeking help with civil matters.
Volunteer attorneys and AmeriCorps advocates are able to assist self-represented litigants to better understand the court process and the law that may apply to facts of their cases, how to file or respond to a pleading, and where to get additional information or assistance. Without volunteers, the delivery of these services would not be possible.
