About us
Pro Se Association
Pro se means “for oneself,” and it reflects the fundamental right of every person to speak for their own case before the courts. The Pro Se Association of Canada is embodied to support and empower individuals who choose not to hire a “lawyer” to represent themselves in legal proceedings. This association for unrepresented litigants is essential because the justice system is not accessible to everyone—even to those who can afford costly legal representation. While lawyers can play any role, they are not always necessary or the best representatives in every situation; no one understands the facts, history, and personal impact of a case better than the person directly involved. Self-representation can also avoid the high financial burden of unnecessary third-party involvement and reduce potential conflicts of interest that may arise when a lawyer’s incentives do not perfectly align with those of the actual party to the litigation. Pro Se Association of Canada promotes informed self-representation, fairness, and equal access to justice for all Canadians.
