As a law student it’s likely that you’ve already had friends or relatives ask you for legal help.  It can be an awkward situation since you’re not yet a lawyer and can’t give legal advice.  It’s always good to be aware of some self-help resources you can direct them to so that they can get some help.  The Utah State Courts website has a great collection of self-help resources, especially forms that are quite useful.  The Utah State Courts recently came out with resources to help with guardianship for an adult.  This is a subject I’ve had several questions about in the Law Library over the past few months.  The page steps through some of the law and procedure on the topic and then has a section of forms that can be used.  Many other subjects, particularly those dealing with family law, are also covered on the Utah Courts website.
