Justice SCOTT
concurring:
I join the court’s opinion and concur in its judgment. I write separately to note that the Winslows will greatly benefit from the advice and counsel of an attorney. What we do today is to simply require the Win-slows to obtain the assistance of legal counsel before they again approach the Colorado courts to seek redress through actions they have initiated, nothing more and nothing less. So long as the Winslows *925retain an attorney “to help them formulate and present their grievances,” maj op. at 924, the doors of our courtrooms are open to them and, as is guaranteed by our constitution to every other citizen, “access to the Colorado courts of justice” is not denied.1

. The filings before us indicate the Winslows were represented by counsel of their choosing at one time or another, however, the record does not reveal the nature of that representation. By our holding today we are not "more devoted to 'order' than to justice”; to the contrary, we assume competent counsel is available to the Winslows and expect that such attorney’s advice and counsel will be sought.
