What You'll Learn
This course provides an overview of the court and legal system and outline the avenues available for free or subsidised legal services, and how social workers can support their client through their legal problems. When clients face legal problems, a social worker can be hard pressed to help clients find the right representation and take the correct course of action. Without lawyers, dealing with the court can often be very intimidating for any client.
Among the many questions social workers may have are: What kind of court will the client have to go to? What will it be like? How can a social worker support a client? Where does a client find a lawyer that they can afford? How does a client know whether he has a good lawyer? What is a reasonable amount to pay? What happens if the client is not happy with the lawyer?
