You don't want to miss this motivating and inspiring episode! Key Takeaways:
  • The implementation of licensed legal paraprofessionals in Colorado aims to foster a supportive environment for underserved individuals without requiring high legal fees.

  • New Colorado Rules of Family Procedure are set to streamline the legal process for unrepresented litigants, reducing confusion and intimidation in the courtroom.

  • Justice Hart advocates for the use of plain language in legal documents to enhance understanding and usability for the general public.
