Arkansas Courthouse Kiosk Program

The AR Courthouse Kiosk Program is a collaborative initiative to modernize and expand access to Arkansas’s legal system. The program is a partnership between the Arkansas Access to Justice Foundation, the Court Improvement Program, and the Administrative Office of the Courts. Installing these kiosks has been a long-standing goal of the Court Improvement Program, which focuses on improving outcomes for children and families involved in dependency and neglect cases.

 Funding for the kiosks is provided through a federal grant administered by the Administrative Office of the Courts. The Arkansas Access to Justice Foundation—a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to funding legal aid for low-income Arkansans and strengthening the administration of justice—oversees implementation and ongoing support for the kiosk network.

 The kiosk, placed at the Monticello Branch Library, provides the public with immediate access to court forms, legal information, and digital tools that demystify court procedures. Users can also apply for legal aid, review court records, print documents, and watch plain-language video explainers designed to increase legal understanding.

 The Arkansas Access to Justice Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to funding legal aid for low-income Arkansans and improving the administration of justice.
