Because of a lack of legal aid many people have little choice but to represent themselves at court. The pre-court clinic has been designed after studies into where litigants in person struggle. We have identified preparation and presentation as the key components.

Do you know what the purpose of the hearing is? Do you know what options are available to a judge? What are the legal tests?

By undertaking the pre-court clinic you should be better prepared for your day in court.

How will you give evidence? Are written submissions appropriate? What support will there be at court? How do you examine a witness? How do you address the bench?

The clinic will help you to present effectively and with confidence.
