Milwaukee County Courthouse Navigator Program; self-help legal services

MILWAUKEE - The Milwaukee County Clerk of Circuit Court's Office and the Milwaukee Justice Center announced on Wednesday, Oct. 4 the opening of the Milwaukee County Courthouse Navigator Program.

A news release says the program will be operated through a newly-established AmeriCorps partnership administered by the Milwaukee Justice Center. The Navigator Program will assign AmeriCorps staff members to physically accompany self-represented litigants as they navigate the three-to-five-step process for court documents – to make sure they are going to the right rooms, in the right order, with the right forms.
