<P>According to the National Center for State Courts, in 76 percent of civil cases in the United States at least one of the parties represents him- or herself. As more people represent themselves in court, more are coming to the library to seek answers to legal questions. Do you ever feel panicked when someone asks you a legal reference question? Are you not sure where to look for information or how much information you can provide? What can libraries do to assist self-represented litigants? The author began her career as a law librarian with no formal legal training. Now, not only does she help people with legal reference questions, but she also provides legal programming and outreach to the community. Learn the difference between legal information and legal advice as well as how to connect with community groups who provide legal services. In this book, the author teaches librarians how to teach themselves about legal research and resources, as well as offering practical ideas for types of legal programs and outreach that they can proactively offer patrons.</P>
