Eight updated and revised consumer education

Several pamphlets are being translated into Spanish and will be

pamphlets into additional languages next year.

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 Cant Pay my Debts? and
