Picture yourself as an unrepresented litigant in Miami-Dade County prior to the pandemic. The jurisdiction has about two-and-a-half million people and it can take you three hours to get from one end of the county to the other when the traffic is bad.

Once you made it to court, you’d have to navigate a mass calendar, wait for your case to be called, or possibly miss your chance in the hubbub. There’d be lawyers in the room who would seem to have a much better idea of everything going on than you or the others attempting to represent themselves.
