McKenzie Friend Luton — family court support directory

REVIEWED BY: Sean McNamara on 2026-09-01

What a McKenzie Friend does in Luton

If you are a litigant in person at Luton Justice Centre (Floors 4 & 5, Arndale House, Luton Point, Luton LU1 2EN) or another Bedfordshire court, a McKenzie Friend can sit with you at hearings, take notes, help with case papers, and quietly give advice. They cannot conduct litigation or act as your advocate without the court's permission, and McKenzie Friends are not regulated legal professionals. The judiciary's Practice Guidance on McKenzie Friends sets out their role.
