SingleDadJames Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I think this one covers all stateshttp://www.nfpcar.org/Legal/bench/index.htmThanks Tootsie...I've come across the site you listed many times. Unfortunately, as the name indicates, it's more of a site dedicated to family law,custody,and juvenile law benchbooks. It also doesn't appear to be very updated as many of the states have nothing listed when I know for a fact there are many family law/custody related benchbooks for those states.Certainly a good site for anyone dealing with family law or custody issues.

SingleDadJames Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Here are some links to some Arkansas benchbooks that may be useful:http://contentdm.ncsconline.org/cgi-bin/showfile.exe?CISOROOT=/judicial&CISOPTR=50http://courts.state.ar.us/judicial_education/publications.cfmYou can even see some live streaming or archived oral arguments from the Arkansas Supreme Court. Might not be all that useful, but interesting none the less!:http://arkansas-sc.granicus.com/ViewPublisher.php?view_id=2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingleDadJames Posted April 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Here is a link to some judge specific benchbooks for Wyoming District Court Judges. They are sort of a Q and A format on the judge's basic preferences and protocols so they may not be all that useful...but still could be worth a look:http://wyomingbar.org/benchbooks/index.htmlMore of the same for Wyoming Circuit Court Judges:http://wyomingbar.org/benchbooks/circuit_courts.htmlHere are a few other potentially useful links for Wyoming I came across:http://wyomingbar.org/resources/category.htmlWyoming Benchbook for Judges of Courts of limited Jurisdiction 1991 http://www.wymc.net/docs/1991BenchBook.pdfWyoming Municipal Court Benchbook:http://www.wymc.net/docs/2009Benchbookcompiled5.pdfWyoming Civil Jury Instructions 1991:http://www.wymc.net/docs/CivliJuryBenchbook99.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SingleDadJames Posted April 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2011 INDIANA Benhbooks and other resources:Here is a list of links to some Indiana Benchbooks. Again of course the one that would be most valuable to most visitors (civil benchbook) is missing. However there is still a TON of great useful information here. This site includes small claims benchbooks and much more.http://www.in.gov/judiciary/center/pubs/benchbooks/The Indiana Trial Court Administration Manual is aimed toward providing general procedural and administration info for court clerks and trial judges. It can be equally valuable for explaining much of the legal process for the pro se. It explains things like what documents get filed with the court, when they get filed, and much more: http://www.in.gov/judiciary/admin/pubs/trial-court/index.htmlThe Indiana Self-Service Legal Center site provides some great pro se information:http://www.in.gov/judiciary/selfservice/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brawnylad Posted April 10, 2011 Report Share Posted April 10, 2011 These should help out lots of folks. Way to go SDJ and antiquedave...My only suggestion would be to consolidate all of the links (grouped by state) in the first post. The thread is short now, but I imagine there will be many additions to the current information.On that note, I am doing lots of research for my Michigan case(s), and will share any new sources of online information I can find.

nobk4me Posted April 14, 2011 Report Share Posted April 14, 2011 Ohio:The Supreme Court of Ohio has established the Judicial eCademy site.

skyshopper Posted June 30, 2011 Report Share Posted June 30, 2011 Woah, I think I hit the jackpot. Took a verbatim phrase from one of the Michigan PDFs SDJames posted and did a search. michigan civil < $25,000 I would suggest this exact phrase (include the dollar sign) when searching for any state. I got 90% .gov hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7angels Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I know I'm WAY late on this one, however tried to search for NC and had no luck! Does anyone have any info. and/or links for fighting a default judgement (CC debt-over $17k?) Looking into how on earth (& heaven too) I can possibly get this vacated or even set aside at this point! Working on a post to explain this mess. Thank You! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
