The number of cases in courts without counsel representation continue to increase.
There are positive effects that come with self-representation that include inspiration, encouragement, integrity, and honour.
Grounds that direct individuals to choose to self-represent in court, include previous bad experiences with lawyers which left them unsatisfied with the process, proceedings, and/or decisions.
There are occurrences where they have no alternative but to opt to self-representation as the case may be for a defendant who is not in a financial situation to afford legal fees .
