Legal coaching as a practical approach to Canada’s Access to Justice Crisis.
Marcus Sixta is the founder of Crossroads Law, a well-established firm specializing in family law with offices in Calgary and Vancouver and a 2023 excellence awardee for Canadian family law firm of the year, and more recently, he founded Coach My Case, which offers legal coaching services to self-represented litigants – we will be talking a lot about this in this podcast. A former social worker, Marcus is a certified collaborative divorce lawyer and an accredited family law mediator and family lawyer, and in 2021, he ranked as one of the top 25 most influential lawyers in Canada.
Jo-Anne Stark is a former director of Advocacy at CBABC and the founder of Stark Solutions, primarily focused on helping SRLs navigate the legal system and providing training and certification for lawyers seeking to offer legal coaching services. You may well recognize Jo-Anne from our recent panel episode on limiting the misuse of NDAs by legal professionals as the lawyer who forwarded the extremely successful CBA resolution (94% in favor) on that issue. It was Jo-Anne’s second successful resolution at the CBA, after last year’s A2J Subcommittee resolution, which she also forwarded, calling for the CBA to look into innovative approaches to improving access to justice. Legal coaching for self-represented litigants is one such approach that is gaining traction as the number of self-represented litigants continues to increase all over the country, particularly in the area of family law. Jo-Anne recently publisheda Guidebook on Mastering the Art of Legal Coaching for legal professionals interested in learning how to set up and run legal coaching sessions to help self-represented people.
