New Blog -- Self Help Law

Shlep: the Self-Help Law ExPress is seeking co-editors. The
blog defines “schlep” as to “drag, carry or haul, particularly unnecessary things, parcels or baggage; to go somewhere unwillingly or where you may be unwanted.” With that definition, the website posits that “we shouldn’t have to shlep around with a lawyer on our backs in order to get justice. The best way to ensure that the non-rich also have access to necessary legal and judicial services is to give them the ability and the option to formulate adequate solutions themselves, including acting as pro se litigants in court.” The
blog's goal is to bring the benefits of a daily weblog to the Self-Help Law movement. Developments and news about self-help will be presented (often thanks to the efforts of the good folk at SelHelpSupport.org). In addition to creating or organizing background materials for those who want to find self-help resources, your editor will attempt to keep readers informed of self-help resources available to the public and to professional providers of those services, of studies and reports on self-help law and related issues, of relevant symposia and meetings, and of the people and groups aiding (or obstructing) the movement.
The blog is still pre-launch, but it should be interesting to follow.
Thanks to
BoleyBlogs!

Thank you very much, Susan, for this pointer to shlep. Technorati hasn't picked it up, or I would have thanked you sooner. I just found the link on Google' Blog Search, and I'mhappy to have discovered your site.
