We will be happy to help you if we can. As we must be fair to everyone, we are allowed to help you only in certain ways.

This is a list of some things court personnel can do for you:

  • We can explain and answer general questions about how the court works
  • We can give you general information about court rules, procedures, and practices
  • We can provide you with the number for lawyer referral services, legal aid Programs, and other services where you can get legal information
  • We can provide court schedules and information on how to get a case rescheduled
  • We can give you information from your case file that is non-restricted
  • We can provide you with court forms and instructions that are available
  • We can usually answer questions about court deadlines

This is a list of some things court personnel cannot do for you:

  • We cannot tell you whether or not you should bring your case to court
  • We cannot tell you what words to use in your court papers or whether they are correct
  • We cannot tell you what to say in court
  • We cannot give you an opinion about what will happen if you bring your case to court
  • We cannot conduct legal research for you
  • We cannot talk to the judge for you or let you talk to the judge outside of court
  • We cannot alter court documents

Our ability to assist you will depend on the time and resources available as well as the scope of our responsibilities, knowledge and experience.
