"The Colorado Courts provide self-help assistance to Self-Represented Litigants to facilitate access to the courts. The goal is to provide, within the bounds of [Chief Justice Directive 13-01], assistance to achieve fair and efficient resolution of cases, and to minimize the delays and inefficient use of court resources that may result from use of the court system by litigants who are not represented by lawyers. There is a compelling state interest in resolving cases efficiently and fairly, regardless of the financial resources of the parties."
