Self-representation is a deeply rooted tradition that spans across centuries, originating from biblical times and continuing to shape the legal landscape today. This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of self-represented litigants (SRLs) within our justice system, examining a wide array of issues surrounding their representation. It explores the extent to which judges should provide assistance, the responsibilities of lawyers engaging with SRLs, and other critical concerns. Drawing upon recent empirical studies from both civil litigation and criminal defense, Jona Goldschmidt compellingly argues that the fair hearing of SRLs cases necessitates a mandatory judicial duty of reasonable assistance. To uphold public trust and confidence in our justice system, it is essential that self-represented parties receive guidance and support. Courts and the legal profession must continually adapt and evolve to effectively manage and interact with those who choose or are compelled to self-represent. Only when SRLs are embraced by the courts can we truly achieve "equal justice under law." This book holds immense value for scholars and professionals in the fields of criminal justice, legal studies, legal history, and legal ethics, as well as judges, lawyers, and other practitioners actively engaged in the legal field.
