Parma City School District [official docket sheet].  The question presented to the Court is whether non-lawyer parents of a disabled child may bring a case pro se (without a lawyer) under the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act [IDEA], 20 U.S.C. § 1400 et seq.  We’ve discussed this important case in two prior postings:  Can a parent be the “self” in “pro se” (Sept. 21, 2006) and Will Winkelman Harm Children?

It is the current protectionism with the some small bars. Please note the current case of the Commission on Practice versus Dan Shea a former Montana Supreme Court Justice. He is accused of some ten years ago helping some discharged employees of Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies draft a wrongful discharge case. As a former attorney I never speak to anyone about the law because I received in the mail a copy of the statute regarding the criminal law charge of practicing law without a license. Who ever sent it to me, thanks. The Good Samaritan lawyer ends up having to pay for a defense. In the meantime people more and more are going pro se because they cannot afford to get a lawyer. As the bar becomes more protectionist the need for the Supreme Court to define representation becomes more apparant. The absurd rub is that if the disabled child could mount his or her own defense she would definitionally not be disabled. The court system is no place for a majority of people to try their talents unassisted. Enjoy this blog--thanks It is not just the Cleveland Bar.
