PRINCETON — Bureau County residents will now have an easier way to get free information about the court system.

On Friday, Bureau County Circuit Judge Marc Bernabei and Circuit Clerk Laurie Abrahams announced the opening of a new online Bureau County Legal Self-Help Center. The free online center will provide legal information for lower income residents who cannot find or afford an attorney to represent them in court, or who are looking for information of topics such as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment compensation, powers of attorney and marriage dissolutions.

Bernabei said the self-help center is a good thing for the community.
