An increasing number of current and former employees are choosing to pursue their claims through courts and tribunals as self-represented litigants, without the assistance of legal counsel. This poses both practical and ethical challenges when defending and attempting to resolve these claims.

In this seminar, attendees will learn:

• How to manage litigation or potential litigation with self-represented individuals, including best practices for ethical advocacy
• Strategies the courts and administrative tribunals use to manage litigation involving self-represented litigants
• What concerns self-represented litigants have and how those concerns can affect the litigation process
