Examples

“When I was in practice against someone who was self repping I always put⟳ a bit extra in the accompanying statement explaining the split⟳ and would sometimes ask⟳ the self repper to sign⟳ a letter to the court confirming that they had had legal advice in the background but weren't represented - only when that was true of course but lots of people did just get⟳ ad hoc advice from a lawyer without them going on record⟳ as acting.”

“This is the world of the self-repper, where legal rules and decisions are often inscrutable and defy the logic of everyday reason⟳ and morality.”
