Self-represented document organization

Legal document organizer for self-represented litigants

When you are representing yourself, organization can help you locate the current order, filed copy or supporting record quickly. It does not replace legal advice or official court instructions. Use the court's current forms, rules and notices as the source for what must be filed or served.

Practical questions

Questions about organizing this material.

Can a document organizer tell me what to file?
No. It can help you arrange material you select, but filing requirements come from the court's current rules, forms and orders or from qualified legal advice.
How should I record a court date or deadline?
Copy the date and its source exactly, note whether it came from an order, notice or docket, and verify the current requirement with the court or an attorney. Do not rely on the organizer to calculate legal time.
