There are two ways to access the court: with an attorney or as a self-represented litigant. At this workshop, volunteers from The Pro Bono Project will introduce attendees to the procedural steps of 1) finding an attorney, 2) determining if they are eligible for civil legal aid, or 3) representing themselves in court.

Disclaimer: The Orleans Civil District Court established the SHRC to assist visitors with navigating the complexities of the legal system. Legal information is available.

Presenter Amanda Burnette George is an 11-year veteran of the United States Trustee Program, a sub-agency of the Department of Justice tasked with administration of bankruptcy cases. She is a 2005 graduate of the Tulane University A.B. Freeman School of Business and a 2008 graduate of Tulane Law School.
