CALLING ALL LITIGANTS REPRESENTING THEMSELVES WITHOUT A LAWYER

More than half of those coming to Family Court in Windsor now are without a lawyer, primarily for financial reasons. In response to this, the University of Windsor, Faculty of Law has created a course in legal coaching to assist self-represented litigants in the Windsor family court. If your matter is not a family law matter, please feel free to apply. Law students will be matched with litigants – one-on-one – to offer “coaching”.

Our law students will not be able to provide legal advice, but they can:

  • Help you review your case and identify your needs and priorities
  • Help you to prepare for a mediation session (and possibly accompany you)
  • Work with you to prepare for a case management or settlement conference (and possibly accompany you)
  • Answer questions about procedure (subject to the knowledge of the individual student)
  • Review your forms with you (subject to the knowledge of the individual student)
  • Provide overall support as you work through this often stressful and difficult process on your own.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN WORKING WITH A “COACH” between September and November 2018, we would love to hear from you.
