Legal Self-Help
by Sondra Wilson. Last updated 8/13/2024.
To make the justice system more accessible for the average person, I am currently developing the following self-help resources. Although you should use these resources at your own risk, I am building them using credible resources recommended on US government websites. I am a pre-law student at Iowa State University currently, and eventually plan to transfer to University of Iowa to earn my law degree.
- www.ReUniteTheStates.org – legal self-help website containing thousands of well-organized legal term definitions using federally-recommended law dictionaries and other credible sources.
- Iowa Rules of Procedure – Simplified! – when you add up the Iowa Rules of Civil Procedure and Iowa Rules of Evidence, there are ~372 rules one must adhere to for civil cases within the State of Iowa. This simplified version of them, in-the-making, has turned them into step-by-step instructions.
- Justice Accessibility Act – I am currently planning to run for Governor in the State of Iowa in 2026. This is the justice reform plan I am running on. Based on my experience traveling the USA, an Act similar to this is needed in many states throughout the union.
