Additional Pro Se Resources

Pro se litigants are people who represent themselves in court without the assistance of an attorney. The Law Library features pro se resources including guides and handbooks for non-lawyers. In addition, public access computers in the library allow pro se litigants to access some electronic legal forms and databases.

Public patrons cannot check out books, but copies may be purchased for 10 cents a page. Patrons may borrow a Copy Card from the circulation desk and pay by cash or check. Copiers may be used to scan to a flash drive or to e-mail for free.
