Court Navigator Pilot Program

The goal of the Court Navigator Pilot Project is to provide increased access to justice for self-represented litigants.

The role of the court navigator will be to provide guidance for self-represented litigants to help navigate the court system. Court Navigators will assist with:

  • Assisting in identifying and completing appropriate pro se forms;
  • Providing basic procedural information on how cases proceed through the court system;
  • Providing referrals to legal/community services;
  • Guiding litigants through the court process including information about court hearings and how litigants should conduct themselves in court.

Assistance

Court navigators will be providing assistance both in-person and remotely.

Initially, the court navigator will provide assistance in three case categories:

  • Protection Orders
  • Domestic Relations, including divorce, custody, and child support; and
  • Evictions Actions (Forcible Entry and Detainer)

Education

Court navigators will be provided with appropriate education and resources to assist self-represented litigants. They will also be supervised and supported by the Wyoming Judicial Branch Administrative Office of the Courts.
