In early 2008, in coordination with a committee of tribunal leadership, the Office of the Administrative Justice Coordinator finalized a set of Best Practices Guidelines for Self-Represented Parties for use by City tribunals. These guidelines provide tribunals with general recommendations on improving services for self-represented parties. The Best Practices Guidelines are not intended to be viewed as a set of requirements that must be met by tribunals; rather, they are a series of suggested practices that could improve the overall tribunal experience.
