Our Services

  • Empowering individuals to navigate the justice system with confidence. Our hybrid small-group workshops teach self-represented litigants how to draft declarations, manage their cases, and e-file documents in both family and criminal court settings. Participants learn to interpret court orders, understand custody, visitation, and procedural rights, and present themselves respectfully and effectively in court. By breaking down complex legal concepts into plain English, we equip individuals with the knowledge and confidence to advocate for themselves or pursue future careers in law.

  • Practical placements for paralegal and legal studies students to assist with document preparation, procedural education, and participant support.

  • Streamline your court process with guided e-filing education and collaborative workshops. Through partnerships with law libraries, self-help centers, schools, and attorneys, we teach participants how to prepare, upload, and submit court documents electronically while following proper courtroom etiquette and procedural standards. These joint trainings improve accuracy, reduce filing errors, and expand public access to efficient, responsible self-representation.

  • A 6–8 week certification for justice-impacted individuals integrating the ATLAS leadership curriculum to build communication, accountability, and workforce readiness—preparing graduates to serve as peer educators and facilitators.
