Like many attorneys, Laura McLean is a bit of a Luddite.
I keep paper files.
I'm kind of old-fashioned, even though I'm not that old, right?
And Laura was at this trial earlier this year.
She does family law, you know, divorces, custody disputes, heavy stuff.
On the opposing side was a woman without an attorney, representing herself.
So going pro se, as it's called in the biz.
Yeah, and it was a divorce case involving finance records and thousands of dollars at issue.
And it's going really badly.
The woman on the other side is forgetting to object to things.
She doesn't have the right number of copies of documents for the court.
She's getting flustered and things are just generally falling apart.
By the second day of the trial, she can hardly speak.
