The document discusses innovations in tools to assist pro se or self-represented litigants in courts. It outlines that the goal of such tools is to help clients, and that they should be simple, suitable for different case types, and have success in real world implementation through court and bar support. Challenges include ensuring quality assistance, cultural competence, and addressing the digital divide. The key question is whether limited pro se assistance is better than full representation or nothing at all.
