The Gavel Summer 2018

Enhancing

Court Services

Improved public understanding and perception of the court system is a vital component of an effective legal system.

Caregivers Accessing Justice

Program

Court Website Redesign

On March 12, the Legal Aid Society of San Bernardino launched the Caregivers Accessing Justice (CAJ) Program as part of grant funding issued by the California State Bar Association. CAJ offers legal assistance to self-represented litigants, in English and Spanish, for guardianship and conservatorship cases. Every Monday through Thursday, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., Legal Aid attorneys and paralegals provide clinic–type services located on the 10th floor Mediation Room, at the San Bernardino Justice Center.

As the court strives to better serve the public and legal community, our current public website requires significant redesign to take advantage of the new design elements and growing demand for online resources and services.

The new public website, slated to launch this Fall, will be visually appealing, with a constant layout throughout the site, and have sound, scalable information for easy navigation and adaptability. The new public website will also provide the public with alternative means of communicating with the court, meet ADA requirements, and be easily updated.
