Unlicensed Lawyer

Commonly, one needs a license to practice law.  However, New Hampshire statute RSA 311:1 recognizes not only the right to represent oneself--that is pro se--but also the right to be represented "by any citizen of good character."

Anyone have a case they want handled by an unlicensed lawyer?

I assumed you could do it in any state, it just made your case "look bad" because those not in the cartel are considered "incompetent." BTW, what's your ETA on NH? I haven't been in the NW in a month now and someone else needs to become the LG Coordinator up there.

I live in Manchester now, so I'm afraid I won't be able to fill that position.

Damn when did that happen?
