Ind. Courts - Court posts video for people considering representing themselves in family law cases
From a release just issued by the Supreme Court:
The Indiana Supreme Court’s Division of State Court Administration has released an informational video for people considering representing themselves in family law cases. The video is available online and will be distributed in DVD format across the state. To watch the video visit courts.IN.gov/webcast.“Family Matters: Choosing to Represent Yourself in Court” was developed by the Supreme Court’s Family Court Project to help people make informed decisions regarding legal representation. It provides important information about the legal process and the responsibilities that a person takes on when they decide to appear in court without an attorney.
The video runs 46 minutes and is divided into short segments. Each segment is designed to provide viewers with information about different stages of a case. For example, there is a section on general responsibilities and another on preparing for court. The video also provides resources for viewers who decide against self-representation and are interested in finding an attorney. * * *
The video was produced in partnership with the Indiana Bar Foundation by Innovative, an Indianapolis production company. In addition to the online posting, more than 500 DVDs will be distributed to all Indiana public library districts, law schools, pro bono districts, and other legal aid organizations.
