Self-Represented Litigation Network

Washington, United States
Joined August 2017

Network of justice system professionals who believe all people should have access to the legal help they need, when they need it, in a format they can use.

Presence in: United States
Focus: Generalist Legal Services, Other, Right to Information

The Self-Represented Litigation Network (SRLN), a managed 501c(3) project of The New Venture Fund, supports justice system professionals focused on the question of how best to reform and re-align ALL aspects of the legal system (courts, legal aid, the private bar, non-lawyer partners and social service providers) so that SRLs experience the courts (and indeed the legal system) as a consumer oriented environment guided by the principles of equal protection and due process.

We provide peer networking and training, as well as serve as a resource center and knowledge hub.

Our vision is that every person gets the legal help they need, when they need it, in a format they can use.

Our mission is to foster access to justice leadership and facilitate the adoption of consumer oriented best practices among court, advocacy and service partners to create a fair, efficient and effective civil justice system for all and, through reform, close the justice gap.

To accomplish this we provide the civil justice sector:

  • a neutral forum to facilitate networking among reform minded leaders throughout the country and to identify and promote evidence based best practices to create a 100% access to justice ecosystem;
  • resources to support thought leadership, training, evaluation, implementation of self-help services and reforms[1] and optimized use of technology; and
  • a geospatial data and analysis hub for the civil justice space.
