SANTA FE, NM (AP) ā The New Mexico court system is expanding public access to court scribe services that ensure those with low literacy or disabilities can still complete crucial court forms.
Under the program, trained court workers or volunteers read court forms aloud and write down responses for people who would otherwise have difficulty. Pilot efforts have been conducted previously in Bernalillo, Roosevelt and Curry counties.
