Summary:
"Between one in three and one in five accused persons in Canada are self-represented. There are roughly 300,000 persons charged each year in Canada, which means between roughly 60,000 to 100,000 individuals each year could find the information in this book invaluable. A high proportion of self-represented accused are employed, with employable skills. Most will have post secondary education. Few accused persons represent themselves by choice. Most do so because they do not qualify for free legal help as they make more money than the maximum amounts permitted to qualify for legal aid. This definitive guide provides information in simple language that helps unrepresented accused persons understand the justice system. It details how a person can navigate their way through a criminal case in Canada, and where to seek out advice and help."--
