I don't have a problem with a lawyer ghostwriting a pro se litigant to a minor extent when the litigant is held to the same standards as lawyers. Maybe it's because I've done it a couple of times, drafted lawsuits for clients to file pro se when I didn't want to handle the case, or advised them on how to file. Once I get them going in the right direction, I get out completely, because as sure as you're born, if they screw up they'll blame me. If I am going to be blamed for mistakes, I want it to be ones that I made, not someone else. In my experience, pro se litigants in circuit court or appellate court are nutballs that can't get a lawyer to take the case because it's a dog. Sane people who can't afford lawyers usually just give up because they figure out they can't do it. Pro se litigants are the type that never give up, even when they are wrong.
