Workshop description: The number of people conducting their own legal research and representing themselves in court continues to grow as the economy remains weak.  This program will provide an introduction to working with the self-represented litigant in your library.  This workshop is paid for with funds from a grant from the National Center for State Courts.  No fee is required.
