Self-Help

Representing Yourself


​Rhode Island Judiciary has created a Self-Help Center to help court users better navigate the court system. The Self-Help Center contains reliable information about your day in court, courthouse rules, and accessing your case information. In addition to our Self-Help Center, court staff is available to provide you with legal information. If you need additional assistance, use  the Contact the Court​ to find a telephone number. Please remember, our court staff cannot provide legal advice or guidance.​
