This festive season, be a light for litigants.
What’s it like navigating the court process without a lawyer?
We’re shining a light on the challenges faced by people facing court alone and on the work we do supporting them. This festive season, too many people without representation face daunting hearings that could have life-changing outcomes.
Watch our video to hear first-hand about the challenges faced by litigants navigating the court system without a lawyer.
Facing court alone?
If you’re going through the civil and family courts without representation, we can help. Find out more about our in-person and remote services, and book an appointment today.
We provide support before, during and after court.
We provide a safe space for people facing court alone. Our volunteers will listen to your story, help you to problem-solve and decide next steps, source reliable legal information, explain complex procedures, complete court forms, and talk to you about how to speak in court.
Cuts in legal aid and funding for advice agencies mean more people than ever face court alone. People have no choice but to represent themselves at a moment that could have life-changing outcomes such as loss of access to children or homelessness.
They find themselves in a legal system that was not designed for people to navigate without the help of a lawyer, desperate for somewhere to turn.
Enable us to be there
We can support one person at a cost of £32 to our funders. Nobody should face court alone.
