Philosophical Objectives Of The Representarian Party-Part Nineteen Session Two

Please read the previous session before this session is read. It will update one properly. 

"He who is his own lawyer has a fool for a client" was a phrase/quote meant to be only applied to "professional counsel" who assisted other individual(s) in the presentation of that individual(s) case(s). That phrase/quote was intended to prohibit a lawyer/advocate from presenting his/her own case. While previous reasons for this have been explained in the previous session, the major reason for this desired ban is that since a professional lawyer/advocate presents cases on behalf of other people in front of usually the same judges, it would definitely be a conflict of interest if that professional lawyer/advocate presented his/her own case in that same court. That professional counsel would appear to be a fool since the perception of desired preferential treatment is obvious if he/she were to advocate a case on his/her behalf and not on the behalf of his/her client. 

There is another reason why the ban of professional counsel of presenting his/her case on his/her behalf and of working on his/her own case was suggested. This analogy is to be cited. Healthcare professionals are generally prohibited from treating themselves. For example, a doctor of medicine is generally not allowed to prescribe his/her own medications. Therefore an "officer of the court" (attorney at-law), based on the described principle, should be highly discouraged from presenting his/her own case in a court of law in which they are members.
