## Cochise County, AZ, Completes Court Self-Help Center

Earlier this month, as part of Law Day celebrations taking place across the country, the Cochise County Law Library reopened as a Self-Help Center.  Housed within the Bisbee Courthouse, the newly remodeled space offers dynamic new spaces filled with natural light, allowing for individual and group discussions.

With a grant from SJI, consultants from the National Center for State Courts (NCSC) were able to provide assistance to the Court in order to achieve a transformation that will allow greater access to legal forms, information, and/or guided help with research for both attorneys and the public.  Some of the outcomes included:
                  - Space where events and informational clinics can be held;
                  - Added public computer terminals for public research;
                  - Dedicated space for interpreters and translators to work with clients;
                  - Caselaw access electronically; and,
                  - A new librarian position to assist with increased traffic.

To learn more about the effective use of court space and resources, visit the Cochise County news page and the NCSC’s courthouse facilities section website.
