New On-line Resource Assists Pro Se Filers

The Bankruptcy Judges Advisory Group has developed a new Web site for potential pro se bankruptcy filers. The site is intended to advise individuals of the difficulty of filing without an attorney, as well as provide information and links to useful resources. Courts may wish to consider including a link to this new resource on their Web pages. It can be accessed via the Federal Judiciary's national Web site at: http://www.uscourts.gov/bankruptcycourts/prose.html
