Eastern Montana Self-Help Law Project

Enable low income residents of Eastern Montana.

Overview

The large size of eastern Montana combined with its high poverty rate and low population density has made delivery of legal services to the area increasingly difficult. As a result low income residents of the region are denied virtually any meaningful access to the civil justice system. MontanaLawHelp.org is a project of the Montana Legal Services Association funded in part by the national Legal Services Corporation. The Montana Legal Services Association the State Bar of Montana and the Montana Supreme Court Equal Justice Task Force work together to find create and organize the information on MontanaLawHelp.org. The project supports residents of Montana by combining technology with volunteer attorneys and paralegals as well as community volunteers to empower people with the legal education advice and self help materials they need to competently and confidently represent themselves in civil proceedings.
