Which of the following is NOT listed as a resource for civil-case assistance?

• A. Clerk of the General District Court
• B. Public defender
• C. Mediation
• D. Bar association

Answer: (B)

In civil-case matters, you look for resources that help you navigate civil court processes, resolve disputes, or connect you with legal help for civil issues. The clerk of the General District Court is a key contact for civil filings, forms, fees, and procedural guidance. Mediation offers a non-litigation route to resolve disputes and is commonly used in civil matters. A bar association can provide lawyer referrals, clinics, and resources for those handling cases without full representation. A public defender, however, works to provide legal representation in criminal cases for defendants who cannot afford an attorney. Since civil cases involve civil disputes rather than criminal charges, the public defender isn’t a resource used for civil-case assistance.
