Can’t afford a lawyer? In states like Arizona and Minnesota, you may have another option to get legal advice in civil court matters.
Programs that train and license "legal technicians" to handle family law matters are seen as a way to close the "justice gap" and make services more affordable.
In Colorado, the state Supreme Court is considering launching a program that would allow people with some background in the law to represent people in family court, where low-income or indigent litigants aren’t provided lawyers as defendants are in criminal court. Applicants must usually complete at least 1,500 hours of paralegal-related work, take courses in ethics and family law and pass an exam before they earn certification as licensed legal technicians.
Jasmine Jones, 49, , of Spokane, Washington, said her husband filed for divorce on Valentine’s Day this year, just two months short of their 20th wedding anniversary. The three-year program, which costs students about $15,000, will end next summer after the current pool of aspirants completes training. The more than 70 licensed legal providers in the state will be allowed to continue offering their services.
“It was a big waste of time,” said Drake, who grew tired of court delays and often disagreed with his lawyer’s decisions before he fired him.
