Julie talks to self-represented litigant Judy Gayton about her years of struggling through the justice system with a cognitive disability. Judy's story is representative of the many people contacting the NSRLP who face the double whammy of navigating the legal system by themselves, on top of a disability. In other news: another great piece from Gillian Hadfield, and career changes from two of Ontario's top justice leaders.
Please note: If you are a lawyer, especially if you have experience working with brain injured clients, and would be willing to consider assisting Judy pro bono on either an application to appeal her trial outcome, a human rights complaint, or an appeal of her legal aid refusal, we would like to hear from you, and can connect you to Judy.
