What about arguing a case pro se?
What's the take on pro se or representing oneself in court?. I have a well-informed, intelligent friend who wants to try it out and firmly believes that the judge may even be more lenient and simpathetic if the judge believes you are doing your best... If one uses a legal document provider, is it not like really going pro se as you will not be accompanied in court by a lawyer?. What are the rules concerning legal document preparers anyway?. I understand that they are licensed in California, Arizona, and only a few more states... Thanks for any input you can give!
