For the past three years, ever since the publication of the National SRL Study, I have been regularly asked about the impact self-representation has on case outcomes.
The original study focused on understanding the motivations, experience sand impact of self-representation. The majority (75%) of those interviewed were SRLs with cases still in progress. The remaining 25% were not asked about their outcomes directly, and few talked about it (this may surprise you, but the transcripts show this clearly).
