It’s getting more complicated to defend your rights. Corporations and well-funded entities are better prepared, have access to greater resources (e.g. talent, information, data processing capabilities) and can easily cause the individual to lose rights, property and protection even when truth is on that individual’s side. Are we tipping the scales to a republic of corporatist interests?
The foreclosure process in Florida is an example where well-funded banks force the process to default in their favor.
As state courts receive less funding, judges and clerks face both institutional and budget constraints as greater numbers of individuals attempt to represent themselves in civil (and criminal) matters. The outcome is not in the favor of those individuals.
