Preparing forms
The Online Court Assistance Program (OCAP) helps you to create forms to file with the court by answering questions in an online interview.
Getting help
The Utah State Courts' Self-Help Center (SHC) provides free legal help to people who do not have a lawyer.
The SHC provides information to help you understand your rights and responsibilities, and to help you resolve your legal problems on your own if you cannot afford an attorney or if you choose not to hire one.
Getting legal advice
Legal clinics give general legal information and brief legal advice. You can also get help with forms, and ask questions about the law. Most legal clinics handle civil law matters only.
Finding what you're looking for
If you are having problems finding what you are looking for, you can send an email to the Web Navigator. You will receive a response within an hour if the Web Navigator is available.

The Utah State Courts mission is to provide the people an open, fair, efficient, and independent system for the advancement of justice under the law.
