Self-representation has a long, venerable history dating to
biblical times and continuing through the common law, the colonial
era, to the present. This book collects and analyzes the law,
ethics opinions, and empirical studies about the wide range of
issues surrounding Self-represented litigants (SRLs) in our justice
system, including how much, if any, assistance should a judge
provide, what duties do lawyers interacting with SRLs, and many
others. Using recent empirical studies from both Civil litigation
and criminal defense, Jona Goldschmidt argues that SRLs' cases
cannot be fairly heard without a mandatory judicial duty of
reasonable assistance. In order to maintain public trust and
confidence in our justice system, self-represented parties must be
guided and assisted. Courts and the legal profession should
continue to adapt and meet the challenge of managing and
interacting with those who choose or are compelled to
self-represent. Only when self-represented litigants are embraced
by the courts, they will finally receive "equal justice under law."
This book would be of interest to those studying criminal justice
and legal studies, specifically legal history and legal ethics, as
well as judges, lawyers and other professionals in the field.
