A McKenzie friend assists a litigant in person in a court of law in England and Wales, Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, New Zealand, Canada and Australia by prompting, taking notes, and quietly giving advice. They need not be legally trained or have any professional legal qualifications. A similar, modified principle exists in Singapore. The role is distinct from that of a next friend or of an amicus curiae.
