Welcome to the Michigan Courts Self-Help Center

This site is designed to help you find legal assistance, learn about Michigan law, and represent yourself in some legal matters. This site does not provide legal advice. If you represent yourself, you are called a "pro se" or "self-represented" litigant. All adult citizens have the constitutional right to represent themselves in court.

If you experience difficulty navigating this site using the drop-down menus, please use the site map.

Warning: Anyone with access to your computer can tell what internet sites you have visited. If you are the victim of domestic violence, for example, and you are researching how to get help through the internet, you should be aware that anyone with access to your home computer may be able to discover websites you have visited through your web browser's cache or history functions. In this instance, it may be safer to access the Internet at a local library or other public place. Keep in mind, however, that computers at public locations may also store website information that you cannot control. If in doubt, you should contact a local domestic violence program or information provider. Local contact information can be obtained by contacting the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-SAFE.
