Baton Rouge Bar Foundation Self Help Resource Center

Organization: Baton Rouge Bar Foundation Pro Bono Project

The Self Help Resource Center (SHRC) serves self-represented litigants with specific Family Court matters (103 divorce, custody, and modifications of child support only) by appointment. Walk-ins may be assisted if time permits. The SHRC is located at the East Baton Rouge Family Court (4th Floor - 300 North Blvd.) and operates on Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Law students, when available, assist pro se litigants with document preparation and filing. Volunteer attorneys offer notarization, but do not provide legal advice. The Self Help Resource Center volunteer sign-up is open to attorneys in all areas of practice.
