Featured Resource
 Indiana Judicial Branch Self-Service Legal Center was created to provide valuable information, court forms, and various resources for people who represent themselves in court. It should be noted, however, that self-representation should not be taken lightly, and that there are many instances in which hiring an attorney is a good idea. In fact, we suggest that even if you use the forms provided on this site, you still talk with an attorney prior to submitting them to a court.

 The eSequels database is
current and complete so you can find the newest title by your favorite author or

you can identify a series that you may recall only vaguely. Brief annotations
are given that describe each title without "giving away" any surprise endings.
Most importantly, eSequels lists the novels in the correct reading sequence so
you can begin at the beginning rather than blunder into the middle of "Act III." *You must have a valid barcode to login.
