Description

The burden of self-representation extends well beyond the stress to the litigant going it alone. This type of litigation tests the capacity of the courts to cope and creates expensive, unnecessarily lengthy hearings for the represented opponent. How this phenomenon can be addressed and curbed will be explored.
