Find reliable help and sources
Choose a resource by the kind of help you need. These links take you to external organizations.
- Civil legal aid near you: locate an LSC-funded U.S. provider and ask about eligibility and available services.
- Legal information and lawyer-referral resources: use the ABA directory to find a suitable local route; verify a lawyer's license with the relevant regulator.
- U.S. federal court locator: find the actual court's instructions and self-help material. State cases need the relevant state court's official website.
- Law Library of Congress: Iraq: locate constitutional, legislative and judicial research sources.
Bring original documents, a factual timeline and a short list of unresolved questions to a consultation. Keep information about deadlines separate from guesses about what might happen next.
