Abstract
The promise of justice through law from the Global North comes with a catch: lawyers are necessary to success. Particularly from the standpoint of Western systems based on the adversarial approach, professional representation in legal proceedings is assumed. Today, however, access to such representation is practically restricted by high legal fees with the result that only larger corporations can actually afford lawyers when engaging in legal disputes. Judges are seeking to maintain the promise of law notwithstanding these developments, but face opposition from lawyers and others in doing so. This paper examines the challenges and opportunities faced by the judiciary in administering justice in the absence of lawyers in the twenty-first century and some of the possible solutions.
