Tiny Chat 134: Best Practices for Creating Legal Self-Help Materials
Self-help materials are important to help people without lawyers navigate the legal system. To maximize their reach, court forms and instructions, process maps, resource guides, and websites must be written in plain language, available in accessible formats, and translated into commonly spoken languages. The National Center for State Courts (NCSC) has a helpful report on best practices for creating legal self-help materials, and this Tiny Chat showcases both the subject matter and creative skill of NCSC’s own Grace Spulak, Lonni Summers, and Danielle Reier to share key takeaways.
