Remote solicitor: peer review short guides [civil litigation] Law for Life

  • Remote volunteering

Law for Life is looking for practising solicitors who specialises in civil litigation, or similar, to help peer review short guides in our range of 19 guides to help litigants in person to determine if they have a potential civil claim and if they do, how to manage their application to the civil court. These guides were published last year, and we are seeking to ensure that they remain accurate and up-to-date.

> They will need to be practical and sensible about what LiPs can manage. Our aim is not to produce an exhaustive guide to civil litigation but to produce something an ordinary Litigant in Person could use.

> The role of the peer reviewer is to ensure that the guides are accurate without compromising their readability or re-writing them.

Law for Life is a charity dedicated to ensuring that people have the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to secure access to justice. They runĀ Advicenow, an independent, not-for-profit website which provides accurate, practical self-help guides, tools and film on rights and the law in England and Wales and draws together the best information about the law and rights available. Advicenow is the user-facing website of theĀ Litigants In Person Support Strategy.
