Do you share the views expressed about "self-reps" in the column below? Not a very charitable depiction of the public (all non lawyers) who are said to be stupid and/or deluded amd or dishonest and so on. He seems to think all lawyers are more ethical than all "self-reps" (and by extension the public)just because the LSUC watches over them. Do you agree?

Few experiences in a lawyer’s work are as infuriating as having your time wasted by a lay adversary. But it is easy to allow frustration to steer you off the path to a desired outcome, or to a good result in litigation. The sooner you realize the futility of convincing someone incapable of understanding why you are right, the faster you will reach the best result for your client. Below you will find stories about interacting with non-lawyers in legal situations. They share a common thread

Does a small claim and probating a will count? I have to say if I was ever charged with something serious I would be unwilling to bankrupt my family in order to get through.
By the way, that's one of many reasons I dislike Canada's gun laws as a gun owner. They are obscure and police/crown almost always lay an unsafe storage charge when something goes wrong like a theft.
