An inventory of Court + Public Self-Help Websites

Please enjoy this master list of links of all the the free, public legal help websites out there in the U.S. If you know of other resources — whether it’s another branch of legal help websites, apps, or otherwise — that we can add to this list of public, correct resources for legal self-help, we invite you to send it to us. Any feedback is much appreciated!
