Justice Access Centre Self-help and Information Services

The Vancouver Justice Access Centre's Self-help and Information Services website provides assistance to people dealing with family or civil law matters at the Supreme Court. The site also includes links to civil and family law information and self-help.

Self-help and information services are available within the Vancouver Justice Access Centre if you do not have a lawyer representing you for a Supreme Court family or civil matter or after you have met with a justice access centre staff member about your problem.

At the Vancouver Justice Access Centre you'll find staff to help you:

  • identify your problem and your resolution options;
  • find publications that explain the law in plain language, including many in languages other than English;
  • access reading material;
  • find useful websites;
  • use self-help guides;
  • get information about government services and agencies;
  • help you understand court forms; and
  • print, photocopy and/or fax forms and other materials (on a limited basis).

Self-help and information services staff provide legal information, but not legal advice.
