Refer to Jethro Justice

Jethro Justice is a self-service tool for a parent representing themselves in New York Family Court. It is built for the moment right after you have told someone you cannot take their case, or before they ever get to that conversation.

What a parent gets

A guided organizer builds a case packet in the parent's own browser: a timeline, upcoming deadlines, a document index with gaps flagged, an exhibit and witness list, and their own questions written down for a lawyer. If the Case Binder finds their case ready for a referral, they can also print the attorney handoff sheet — a one-page summary built from everything above, meant to be handed across a desk. For someone deciding whether to refer, that sheet is the single most useful thing on this page: it is what will land in front of you.

What it never does

Jethro Justice does not decide any of the following for a parent. When their answers show one of these, the organizer flags it for a licensed attorney rather than offering guidance of its own:

Where the data goes

Nowhere. Everything runs in the parent's own browser, and there is no account.

How to refer

Share jethrojustice.org directly, or hand over the printable half-sheet made for a courthouse counter or an intake desk. If you would like your own link — so visits from your organization are counted — contact us and we will set one up; add ?ref=your-organization to any page's address and a parent who follows it is attributed to you.

We'd like to refer to you — if your organization provides free or low-cost legal help in New York and you are not already listed on our referral page, or you would like an attributed link of your own, write to antwain@jethrojustice.org.
