We are delighted to announce that the Flip Your Wig for Justice fundraising campaign has appointed SRL Jana Saracevic as an “Ambassador” (for the full list of Ambassadors). A collective of non-profits including Community Legal Education Ontario, Pro Bono Students Canada and the Ontario Justice Education Network and supported by the Law Society of Upper Canada, Flip Your Wig is a pledge-based fundraiser in support of access to justice programs in Ontario.
Jana will use her position to help raise awareness about access to justice along with the other Ambassadors and community partners, and will be participating in public education events.
Commenting on her appointment Jana said: “I see my involvement as a stepping stone to building bridges towards a common goal. It is the beginning of a collaboration between the existing traditional legal system and the current need for change, improvement, and growth to accommodate the needs of SRLs.”
Congratulations Jenna …this is long overdue !!
could someone please comment on the need that is being acknowledged for change improvement and growth in the legal system, and the current direction of the ablaw system as well as here in |BC| where the push is to demonize all srl s and ban everyone who is self represented by calling everyone vexatious. apparently alberta claims to have had at least 70 cases of this nature just last year, how is stripping people of their judicial rights moving in the right direction. I await your reply
