shlep: the Self-Help Law ExPress

There's a new blog in town: shlep: the Self-Help Law ExPress.

SHLEP’s goal is to bring the benefits of a daily weblog to the Self-Help Law movement. We have assembled a Team of contributors with diverse expertise, skills and perspectives, to make it happen. Developments and news about self-help will be presented, and viewpoints expressed. In addition to creating or organizing background materials for those who want to find self-help resources, the shlep Team 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.

Shlep's editor and founder is David Giacalone, but he has recruited several other people who will post, including me. If you're interested in access to justice and opportunities and challenges for people who handle their own legal problems, take a look.
