Should I Represent Myself In Court?
There are a variety of reasons to why some people chose to represent themselves in court, the common misconception is that it is done out of choice but the main cause is usually money; low income individuals qualify for legal aid and wealthy defendants can afford high priced lawyers, middle-income people do not qualify for legal aid but often cannot afford the representation required. To become a fully qualified lawyer with no experience takes at least seven years so consider if you would perform surgery on yourself after a few weeks research and you are looking at the same sort of impact it might have on your success.
