SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The Utah State Bar wants to help those Utahns who need to hire a lawyer but don't know where to start.

The bar has launched the Web site findalawyer.org to help match attorneys with potential clients.

Bar president Nate Alder says the directory provides a simple-to-use online listing of participating lawyers and can be searched to match attorneys with a particular legal specialty or situation, such as a fluency in a foreign language.

So far, 637 Utah lawyers are taking part in the program. Some 21 languages are covered.

The site also has an information section that explains what a lawyer's duties are, suggestions for selecting a lawyer and ideas for controlling legal costs.
