A new self-help service was unveiled earlier this month to respond to the needs of those who cannot afford their own attorneys. Created by local legal aid offices and Ramsey County libraries, RamseyCountyLawHelp.org is similar to its parent, LawHelpMN.org. It offers links to local nonprofit legal aid and court programs, plus workshops and other resources available at local libraries. Additional legal resources are divided into subject areas for ease of use. A link to the excellent collection of Mid-Minnesota Legal Aid fact sheets is available for reference needs. Links to court forms for both federal and state courts can also be found.
“We are excited to offer Ramsey County LawHelp to our patrons. It provides amazing self-help legal resources that are local, current and comprehensive,” said Susan Nemitz, Director of the Ramsey County Library. “This website provides patrons with the tools they need to understand and address…very complicated and frightening legal problems.”
