I have a pet theory that he’s convinced one of the two of the new buddy trolls is a lawyer and they somehow convinced him that that they can represent him I don’t think a court would allow that but I’m not sure this reeks of gay ops
They absolutely will NOT allow that under any circumstances.
You have the right to represent yourself in court if you choose to, whether you have a law degree or not, however it's strongly advised to get outside council. Even people who are lawyers will hire another lawyer to represent them because it's just a really bad idea to represent yourself.
Sometimes people representing themselves has worked out for the best, but those examples are few and far between. But if you're not a licensed attorney and you try to represent someone else in court, your ass is going to jail, no two ways about it.
A few years ago there was a guy named Rick Martin, a wannabe sov cit guru, up in Michigan who told people he had sent numerous judges and cops to prison because he was that knowledgeable about the law. He showed off "lawsuits" he filed and bragged about buying cars and houses with the money he won by suing police departments who dared stop him for not having a drivers license registration or insurance. He called himself "the judge slayer" and said judges got off the bench and literally ran away if they saw him walk into their court room because he was about to order the bailiff to take the judge into custody and they'd have no choice but to obey.
Anyway, he had wormed his way into the life of a crazy woman who refused to shut down her restaurant during the early days of covid and convinced her that he was the answer to all of her prayers. He walked into court with her and that's when the fun begant. He tried to feign ignorance saying he never actually said he was a lawyer and was just there as "assistance of council". The judge wasn't having any of it and instantly found him in contempt and sent him to jail for 90 days.
You see it a lot in the sovereign citizen movement, lots of assholes pedal pseudo legal bullshit to their followers for money who then walk into court with a script to follow. It never works, it never has worked, it never will work.
If you try representing someone else without a law degree and current license to practice law, the judge is going to snatch your asshole out and use it as a peephole. That shit is illegal as fuck.
