The state Judiciary held the 2016 Self-Help Desk Recognition Awards Friday to celebrate the work of Hawaii Island attorneys who provided free legal information to more than 500 Hawaii Island residents seeking assistance during the past year at the Kona Courthouse in Kealakekua.
The Kona Self-Help desk was established in 2013 as part of the Judiciary’s commitment to increase access to justice in the courts. Since opening, more than one thousand Hawaii Island residents have been assisted with legal questions at almost no cost to the state according to a press release.
