Self Represented Litigants: Literature Review

Abstract

This literature review explores the research and evaluation material that is available about self-represented litigants. The review is specifically directed at exploring what data gaps exist in relation to self-represented litigants (SRLs) and has been undertaken as part of a project by the Australian Centre for Court and Justice System Innovation (ACCJSI). The project is funded by the Commonwealth Attorney-General’s Department and forms part of the Attorney-General’s Department project to build an evidence base for the civil justice system.
