LawHelp Interactive

In partnership with the California Judicial Council and Law Help Interactive, self-represented litigants can use the guided questionnaires to complete forms related to several case types. A self-represented litigant can work on their court forms online 24/7, from any location that has access to the internet, using a desktop computer, laptop, tablet, or cell phone.

Each of the questionnaires focus on completing the paperwork for either starting a new case, responding to a case filed against you, or preparing necessary forms for a case that has already started. We strongly recommend you create a free online account as part of completing your paperwork. This allows you to save your progress and to ensure you do not lose any work you started.
