We are proud to announce that the courts now have a Michigan Legal Self Help Center in our courthouse!! The center includes a work station (computer/printer/scanner/webcam). Via the Self Help work station you may visit michiganlegalhelp.org to draft documents through an interactive interview which fills in forms appropriately from your answers. The webcam/computer is set up to allow the public to attend court via zoom in our county/or another. Michigan Legal Help has provided the Self Help Center with a remote navigator that you may contact directly through zoom and have an actual conversation with. A printer and paper are provided for you to print out court forms you create. The Self Help Center also has blank forms printed out for you to take home and fill out and file at your convenience. The center is funded by the Michigan Legal Self Help Center grant and we are excited to be able to offer you this. If you need any assistance with the equipment, please feel free to go to Circuit Court office and staff will assist.
The Michigan Legal Self Help Center can be found on the second floor in the Law Library.
The courtroom is open to the public and we are resuming are hearings to occur in person.
