At this session, you will also learn the basics of electronic filing of case initiations and documents and obtain an overview of the wide range of web-based information and interactive services available on the Judicial Branch website www.jud.ct.gov.
  

Court Service Centers, Volunteer Attorney Programs and Pro Bono

This session will provide you with information about Court Service Centers and Public Information Desks, which are court-based facilities that provide attorneys, self-represented parties and members of the public with a variety of resources, such as statewide calendar and docket information, court forms, and Judicial Branch publications. This session will also provide a brief overview of the Judicial Branch’s Volunteer Attorney Programs in family and foreclosure as well as a brief, general discussion about available pro bono opportunities.

 

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) Programs
