Your Civil Court Case: The Basics

This toolkit tells you general information about procedures in civil cases in court. For general information about the different stages in a court case, read the Articles. Read the Common Questions if you have a specific question. The links under Courts & Agencies will tell you about the court that will handle your case.

You'll find links to legal aid offices and lawyer referral services under Find A Lawyer. If there is a Self-Help Center in your area you can get more help there. If you need something other than legal help, look in Community Services. If you need a fee waiver, an interpreter, a court to accommodate your disability, or more information about going to court, visit Going to Court.
