Where a party to proceedings acts or appears for themselves, unrepresented by a legal practitioner, they can be called a Self Litigant.
McKenzie Friends Club provides a service for those who don’t satisfy requirements of legal aid, can’t afford a legal practitioner, or who choose to self represent.
Here is a list of some of the issues that are addressed by our Self Litigant Service:
- How the different court systems work
- What forms to fill in
- How to act in court
- How to cross examine
- How to object
- What to say in court
- Data recording
- Public information
- How to serve documents
- Diagrams of court process
- Definitions and explanations of key words
Our goal is for a Self Litigant to be confident that their performance in court does justice to their cause and is deserving of a fair hearing.
