Self-Represented Litigants in Limited Jurisdiction Courts Workgroup


Access to Justice

Pursuant to Administrative Order No. 2014-83, the Commission shall examine and make recommendations on assisting self-represented litigants and revising court rules and practices to facilitate access and the efficient processing of cases. In Arizona, the majority of eviction cases involve litigants who go to court without legal counsel, largely because they cannot afford representation. Numerous states around the country have revised court rules and created best-practices that can be used as guidance when establishing Arizona practices to provide assistance to self-represented litigants in limited jurisdiction courts.
