It says there she had blogs about the legal industry, so it is likely that she is a lawyer. Of course it is usually not a good idea to represent yourself even if you are a lawyer, but maybe she could not afford representation.
Hopefully the ACLU would take up her cause on appeal.
- nknight 15y agoEFF would be more likely, I think. The ACLU's focus is mostly government-related, they don't step into a lot of private lawsuits.
- pyre 15y agoI would think that the ACLU would have an interest in the ruling though.
- c0riander 15y agoAs they say, the lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client.
- fleitz 15y agoYup, even if you're a rockstar lawyer, it's always good to have one because your lawyer views the case in a more impartial manner with out the emotional attachments that you may have to the case. It's pretty easy to get blinders on if you're representing yourself.
- nitrogen 15y agoIt's not just that; AIUI if you represent yourself, you can get in a lot more trouble for saying something later decided to be false, or making a statement not supported by evidence. There are explicit bonuses built into the system for those who have a representative.
