Eight updated and revised consumer education pamphlets are now available on the State Bar’s website, www.calbar.org.

Order forms for obtaining print copies of the pamphlets are not online, but information is available by calling 415/538-2280.

Several pamphlets are being translated into Spanish and will be available later this year, both online and in hard copy. The bar hopes to translate some pamphlets into additional languages next year.

The pamphlets currently available are: How Can I Find and Hire the Right Lawyer?, How Do I Use the Small Claims Court?, What Should I Know About Divorce and Custody?, What Should I Know Before I Rent?, What Should I Know if I Am Arrested?, What Should I Do if I Have an Auto Accident?, What Can I Do If I Can’t Pay my Debts? and Can the Law Help Protect Me From Domestic Violence?

Inquiries about pamphlets dealing with wills, trusts and estate planning should be directed to 415/538-2206.
