How It Works
Kasecraft is a self-help marketplace and toolkit for pro se litigants, paralegals, and lay advocates. Here's what's actually live today, in the order most members use it.
1. Create a free account
Sign up with an email and password, plus your state and a display alias. Every member is shown as STATE-Alias (e.g. NJ-Gus) across the portal — no full names required.
Open →2. Browse or post in the Marketplace
Post procedural help, redacted documents, or services for other pro se litigants to find, or browse what other members and paralegals are already offering. Save anything you want to come back to later.
Open →3. Attend or host a Workshop
Browse live sessions and Zoom calls filtered by jurisdiction and topic, register to attend, and leave a review afterward. In good standing? Host your own.
Open →4. Post or browse Public Notices
A paid ($10, non-refundable) public notice stays live for 7 days once payment clears via Stripe Checkout, then expires automatically.
Open →5. Use the self-help tools
The Filing Workspace has filing checklists and a notice summarizer that scans pasted text for deadlines and action items. The Drafting Studio has outlines and scratchpads for common document types. Hearing Prep has an objection-practice scanner and a courtroom etiquette checklist. All of it is plain-language, rule-based help — not legal advice, and not AI-generated analysis.
Open →6. Check deadlines and share a win
The Deadline Calculator computes a filing deadline from a trigger date and a jurisdiction's own rule (calendar days or business days). The Community Gratitude Board is a place to post an anonymous thank-you or a win, tagged by category.
Open →Nothing on Kasecraft is legal advice or representation. Workshops, templates, and every self-help tool here offer procedural and educational content only.
