Review: Family Courts without a Lawyer – A Handbook for Litigants in Person by Lucy Reed

Family Courts without a Lawyer: A Handbook for Litigants in Person is written by Lucy Reed, barrister and author of the Pink Tape blog. A title that may, on its first reading, strike fear into the heart of family lawyers and, hopefully, give a sense of relief to many litigants in person. However, this is the book that all family practitioners wish they had written and which litigants in person may consider buying, its aim being to make any interaction with the family courts, for the uninitiated, as stress-free as possible.
