Mission/Vision
The National Self-Represented Litigants Project (NSRLP) is dedicated to advocating for systemic change in the Canadian justice system to better meet the needs of self-represented litigants (SRLs). We strive to foster collaboration among SRLs, lawyers, judges, and court staff to create a more responsive and inclusive legal environment.

Our mission is to empower SRLs, drive meaningful reform, and enhance justice for all through education, advocacy, and partnership.
