Judges and SRLs: Continuing the Dialogue

Jumping Off the Ivory Tower with Prof JulieMac

Today Julie talks to Justice David Price of the Ontario Superior Court, where he sits as a family court judge, about two issues that regularly raise anxieties and challenges for self-represented litigants: how to reduce the chances of being ordered to pay the costs of the other side, and how to organize and present arguments in court. Justice Price presents clear information for members of the public who are unable to afford expert assistance and are obliged to represent themselves. We also asked two SRLs, Jana Saracevic and Elizabeth Roberts, to comment on Justice Price’s “tutorial” and to reflect on how they learned to find their way through the system without this information. In other news: Ontario, Saskatchewan, and British Columbia celebrate their A2J weeks with fantastic events across the country this month.
