A new pilot program utilizing the state’s public libraries to improve court access will offer guidance for Illinoisans struggling to navigate the legal system on their own. The goal of the pilot is to help people without lawyers—who may have limited technology capabilities or transportation challenges—more easily access legal information and assistance at their local public library. Illinois Secretary of State Alexi Giannoulias’ office partnered with the Illinois Supreme Court’s Commission on Access to Justice and The Chicago Bar Foundation to establish Court Access Library Centers in selected public libraries that offer space and dedicated equipment for residents without lawyers to appear in court remotely, obtain legal information and resources, and e-file and access court documents online. Each pilot location has been provided with court access training for the librarians who volunteer. Additionally, some librarians will be trained as certified “Court Library Navigators” to offer more customized legal information to patrons. For more information about Court Access Library Center locations and resources, litigants are encouraged to call Illinois Court Help at (833) 411-1121.
