LITIGANTS IN PERSON
Principles and Practice in Civil and Family Cases in
Singapore

The book employs different methodologies, including a doctrinal
legal analysis, a literature review of academic writings, policy papers,
and official reports, and an empirical consideration of written court
judgments involving LiPs. The book also contains findings from
in-depth interviews of a small group of LiPs, conducted with the
Community Justice Centre’s assistance, as well as a survey of lawyers
conducted with the Law Society of Singapore’s assistance. These mixed Author(s):
methodologies inform a tripartite framework to analyse the status, Jaclyn L Neo and
needs, and impact of self-representation in the current system. The Helena Whalen-
book identifies points of apparent disconnect between the assumed Bridge
“ordinary” working of the legal system and the needs of LiPs. Year: 2021
