Description

Understanding Procedural Justice in Uneven Family Court Hearings. This project aims to explore procedural justice in uneven family court hearings, where one party appears as a self-represented litigant. Taking a socio-legal, empirical and interdisciplinary approach to the strengths and limitations of current case management practices, it expects to integrate international evidence on self-representation to generate new knowledge about how procedural justice can be best supported in the family law context. Expected outcomes of this project include: enhanced understanding of procedural justice and a best practice protocol for uneven hearings, co-produced with family court judges. This should provide benefits to all court users through improved access to justice and court efficiency.. Scheme: Discovery Early Career Researcher Award. Field: 4804 - Law In Context.
