The problem with your theory is that ",unrepresented parties" is a term of art and "unrepresented counsel" is gibberish, so there's no reasonable likelihood of confusion. I don't think it's fair to attack the justice system because you can't read good, there are plenty of legitimate reasons you don't need to dilute.I'm not trying to be pedantic, but it literally does change the meaning. If you say "unrepresented parties and counsel" it can mean unrepresented parties and unrepresented counsel (which is what made me bring it up in the first place, cause I didn't know if that was a thing) OR it can mean unrepresented parties and, counsel (represented or not).
Same as if i say "stop all red cars and trucks", do you stop a green truck? It's ambiguous. If i say "stop all trucks and red cars," then clearly you'd stop a green truck.
Again I'm not trying to argue or be a dick, I literally thought it meant unrepresented counsel which doesn't make since and I assumed it was some legal thing I didn't know about.
