Got a court case tomorrow and main lawyer is doing another case so am thinking of sacking the assosciate off and representing myself anyone done it do you stand in the dock or do you go right where the lawyers sit?
Anyone reprented themselves in court? One of the first things I was told decades ago in law school in California was: The lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client. Now, considering you're not even a lawyer ...
Anyone reprented themselves in court? don't do it mate-i know of a few guys who ended up making themselves not only look like complete d1ckheads but ended up getting dealt with harsher-they see it as you taking the pi$$ out of them-i'd leave it to the experts
Anyone reprented themselves in court? That's a good question. I've been in an English, Scottish, Greek and Cypriot court, but I've only ever seen someone acting pro se in a Scottish Justice of the Peace. I'd ask your associate, it would be worth the look on his face alone! :-D What are you being charged with? I wouldn't sack the associate, I'd ask for a continuance, depending on the severity of the charge and the time in which your main council informed you of his inability to attend, the judge will probably allow for it if the associate also claims to not be suitably prepared as a result of the main council's timing. Keep in mind what Abe Lincoln once said "a man who represents himself has a fool for a client".
Anyone reprented themselves in court? a dont trust the associate though a dno a think av got a good grip of what av got to say its pretty clear cut tbh he who represents himself in court has a idiot for a lawyer and a fool for a client a read it earlier lol

Anyone reprented themselves in court? I'm glad I'm 3 years into my law degree, seems like anyone can do my future job, at a days notice? Mate, please...leave it to the experts. You might think it's clear cut, but what happens if the judge throws something at you? You really got anything like a grasp of the core concepts of your charge?
