Self-help legal center resources: Michigan Self Help Legal Center

The Self-Help Legal Center was sponsored through a grant from The Michigan Justice for All Commission (Commission), which was created by the Michigan Supreme Court to ensure that everyone in Michigan is able to access legal services when needed. The Commission is working with the State Court Administrative Office (SCAO) to expand and enhance effective, efficient, and sustainable self-help center services across Michigan.
