Video guides for self-represented litigants

12/02/2014

Attorney General Greg Smith SC today launched a series of "how to" videos for self-represented litigants that are available on the LawAssist website.

Not a substitute for legal advice

“While there’s no substitute for professional legal advice, it is a reality that many people appear in court without representation; and if they don’t know what they are doing it can cause, confusion, frustration and costly delays for all parties,” Mr Smith said. “Until recently, many self-represented litigants have relied on US TV dramas to learn about court. I can guarantee that the new LawAssist videos are more educational and relevant to self-represented litigants than an episode of Law & Order,” he said.
