The New Mexico Supreme Court has announced the expansion of a program designed to assist individuals representing themselves in court cases and jurors in completing necessary court forms. Under this initiative, state courts across all 33 counties now offer scribing services to self-represented litigants and those summoned for jury duty who require help filling out their juror questionnaires. Trained court employees assist by reading the forms aloud, transcribing the individual’s responses verbatim, and reviewing the completed answers with them. Individuals in need of scribing assistance are encouraged to contact the clerk’s office at the court where their case was filed.
