Just one in four civil defendants has a lawyer, down from nearly all of them in 1992, according to a 2015 study, its most recent, by the National Center for State Courts.
Some are saying that pro se litigation is the new normal.
The pro se litigant, the bane of every litigation attorney's existence.
I have never gone up against a pro se litigant, but I have opposed plenty of lawyers who were basically operating on a pro se level, particularly in the Ok, Boomer "olden days".
But how about you? Have you ever suffered the ultimate humiliation for any lawyer, losing to a pro se?
What other pro se horror stories do you have?
Secondarily, I have long advocated that outside of small claims court a plaintiff should be required to appear through a licensed attorney. What say you?
