Collectively Strengthening Access to Justice in Canada

Why This Matters

Every day thousands of Canadians appear in court without a lawyer — not by choice, but because legal representation is financially out of reach. This creates delays, frustration, and real barriers to fairness in the justice system.

The National Self-Represented Litigants Project (NSRLP) exists to ensure people are not left to navigate the justice system alone. Through national research, free public legal education, and practical plain-language resources, the NSRLP supports self-represented litigants (SRLs) and contributes to a justice system that functions more fairly and efficiently for everyone.

How We Help

National data collection and research on self-represented litigants

Free public legal education and plain-language resources

Training and dialogue with justice professionals

Advocacy for system-wide reform

What Your $100 Supports

School for Family Litigants – online legal education and live support

National SRL Professional Directory – connecting people to affordable legal help

Plain-Language Guides – practical tools used by thousands each year

National Research & Data – informing courts and policymakers

Why $100 Matters

If 1000 lawyers give $100 each, we can help stabilize national SRL services. Because the NSRLP’s work is delivered nationally and accessed at scale, even modest contributions have an outsized impact.
