Thankfully, I live in a jurisdiction where things are simpler. I've actually successfully represented a relative in a court of law without any legal training. In Finland, it is common for families to have a printed copy of the law on the bookshelf. Families traditionally sort out things like inheritances without the involvement of lawyers. Nowadays, the law is available online, of course. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
