Definitely questions from you would help direct the issues. In the absence of that, I will wander around in any order that may come up in my mind. As I said, the law of the land allows any one to defend his or her case in the court. Theoretically and according to the law, court cannot discriminate against you for not hiring any lawyer. But in reality and due to the racketeering of the judges and lawyers, there may be some disadvantages.
Judges are very partial and dishonest, mostly.
The moment a judge will see that you are representing yourself, his listening and judging abilities are impaired. That is not how justice system is supposed to work under the law. Judges would not mind writing false reasoning in the judgement, thinking that you being a layperson will not understand anyway. If it were an ideal court and an ideal judge, self-representation would not make any difference to defend oneself. Perhaps you will be able to defend better as you would know all the details of the case better than any lawyer that you would hire, and also because you have lived thru all the things that would be before the court.
