SHC

The Utah State Courts' Self-Help Center (SHC) provides free legal help to people who do not have a lawyer.

The SHC can help you understand your rights and responsibilities. They can help you resolve your legal problems on your own if you can't afford a lawyer or if you choose not to hire one.

SHC staff attorneys can:

  • answer questions about the law, court process and options
  • provide court forms and instructions and help completing forms
  • provide information about your case
  • provide information about mediation services, legal advice and representation through pro bono and low cost legal services, legal aid programs and lawyer referral services
  • provide information about resources provided by law libraries
A Few Cautions
  • The SHC cannot give you legal advice or represent you in court.
  • The SHC attorney is not your lawyer.

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.
