Want to file your own divorce? How about initiating a small-claims action against someone who ripped you off?

Maybe you want to change your name or find your next court date.

You don't need a lawyer - just a computer with Internet access.

Tuesday, the state's Judicial Department unveiled a new and improved Web site (www.courts.state.co.us) that's loaded with information about the courts, selfhelp forms, instructions, Supreme Court and Court of Appeals opinions, and statistics from every one of the state's 22 judicial districts.

While the self-help forms have been available for years, one of the new functions is the ability to get the time and place of any court hearing in any courthouse across the state - updated daily.

"The Internet is often the first place people turn to when looking for any information about the Colorado court system," Supreme Court Chief Justice Mary Mullarkey said in a news release. "We believe the new site will be something all Coloradans can be proud of and give them a reliable, timely source of accurate information."

The site also includes statistics dating back years.

Want to know how many DUIs were filed in El Paso County in 2006? It's there.

Looking for a job as a court clerk? That's there, too.

Want to make sure that attorney you just hired hasn't been disciplined by the state? Just follow the links to "Attorney Regulation."

Judicial Department spokesman Jon Sarche said they researched court Web sites from around the world, noting features and components that were especially helpful.

"We incorporated a lot of those ideas," Sarche said.

It's the first major face-lift for the Web site in almost six years.

The docket-search feature drove the upgrades.

"That's an incredibly useful thing, and there was no way the old site could've handled it," Sarche said, adding that work on the upgrade has been going on for almost 10 months.

The online docket search should also free some time for clerks who had to field calls from people asking when, where and what time their next court date is.

"We tried to make it easier to navigate so people don't have to spend a lot of time clicking," Sarche said.

Visitors can also follow links to the Web site for their judicial district.
