The NSRLP staff is very excited to announce that we are the winners of the 2020 Fodden Award in the Clawbies which make awards for best blog, best podcast, best online resources, social media etc.
Since 2010, this “big prize” honours the crème de la crème in Canadian legal commentary.
Since its inception in 2013, the NSRLP has won several Clawbies for specific streams of content: the blog, podcast, and self-help resources; this year, the NSRLP has been awarded for its collective body of work with the Fodden Award. Our organization’s effort in amplifying the stories and voices of stakeholders involved in the Canadian self-represented litigant phenomenon–from litigants to A2J groups to judges to lawyers–is well deserving of this recognition.
Nominations praised the NSRLP for:
- “their continued effort in making the legal system more accessible to SRLs. Their recent primer is an essential tool for SRLs to be better prepared”
- “maintaining a current list of court changes nationwide due to COVID-19 ever since shutdowns started!”
- “promoting dialogue between self-reps and members of the legal profession. Understanding the ‘other’ side’s experiences and concerns is a very necessary part of resolving the current A2J crisis”
Thank you to all our supporters, and friends who nominated us for this this amazing award.
