We Can

• Explain and answer general questions about how the court works
• Give you general information about court rules, procedures, and practices
• Give you information from your case file that is not restricted
• Provide court schedules and information on how to get a case scheduled
• Provide you a number for lawyer referral services, legal aid programs, and other services where you can get legal information
• Provide you with court forms and instructions that are available
• Usually answer questions about court deadlines

We Cannot

• Alter court documents
• Conduct legal research for you
• Give you an opinion about what will happen if you bring your case to court
• Talk to the judge for you or let you talk to the judge outside of court
• Tell you what to say in court
• Tell you whether you should bring your case to court
• Tell you what words to use in your court papers or whether they are correct
