Empowering Self-Help Litigants in Nevada with Video

Legal processes can be overwhelming, with all the jargon, forms, and fine print. It often feels like navigating a maze without a map. But what if we could make these processes easier to understand for everyone? That's where animated explainer videos come in.

Short explainer videos play a crucial role in bridging the access to legal information gap. Animations break down complex legal steps into easy-to-follow visuals, making even the most daunting procedures accessible. Instead of sifting through pages of confusing text, users can watch a short video that explains everything clearly, step by step.

In the last two years, the team at CiviLaw.Tech has developed several interactive self-help tools aimed at supporting self-help litigants in Nevada. Among these tools are 17 animated videos, each ranging between 2 and 5 minutes, covering topics such as divorce, child custody, protection orders, name change, etc.

• Animations can simplify complex emotions and concepts,
• Animated characters make legal concepts more universally relatable,
• Animated characters create a more approachable and friendly atmosphere, which is especially helpful when dealing with sensitive topics like abuse and domestic violence.
• Animated videos are easy to update, translate, and maintain over time, ensuring the information stays current and accessible to diverse audiences.

Whether it's filing petitions or learning about the service of process, these videos provide an alternative medium to make legal information accessible to more individuals.

Nevada's Interactive Self-Help Portal is a comprehensive solution that includes explainer videos, a generative AI-powered chatbot, eligibility reviews, and guided interviews where users answer a few questions to generate court-ready forms—all live and accessible via Nevada’s statewide self-help portal. With more than 10,000 users engaging with these tools since their launch, it's clear that these resources are making a tangible difference.
