This course, provided by the National Judicial College (NJC) and held in Reno, NV, on October 31 - November 3, 2016, is designed for judges who decide on civil and criminal cases involving SRLs and who need information about issues dealing with management of those cases involving SRLs. After attending this course, judges will be able to move a self-represented party civil docket expeditiously, use settlement techniques in cases involving SRLs, summarize the limits on assisting self-represented parties, apply innovative methods and strategies to ensure that SRLs have proper access to the justice system, identify when an indigent SRL may be entitled to court-appointed counsel, and describe best practices for managing these sometimes difficult cases, including cases requiring an interpreter.
