Our court system is lacking

[Miestră Schivă, UrN-GC]

My recall of that conversation is that I had doubts and questions about your proposed legal plan of attack, but I didn't give you a firm "no", and then I found you'd decided to go pro se anyway.

BTW, is this a formal waiver of attorney-client confidentiality, so - if the CpI judge gives me the go-ahead - I can put this on the record?

But in civil law countries you at least always know where to look, the statutes, instead of having to research or otherwise being expected to know about cases from centuries ago

That is not an issue in Talossan law. Talossan common law is specifically not the same as Anglo-American common law, though there is a family resemblance. While "cases from centuries ago" in other common law countries are interesting and may provide models for behaviour, only the decisions of Talossan courts are actually binding precedent. The question of whether there are sufficient records of those is another story.

I admit to being a pedant in this answer, but Talossan common law is specifically the same as Anglo-American common law. "Law and equity" is not a term that Paris, Berlin, Rome, or Vienna came up with, and if Talossa has the concept of stare decisis, then that is necessarily Anglo-American common law. Talossa can have the traditions of common law without being bound to some English 16th-century equity controversy, in the same way that U.S. courts are not actually bound to the same cases but have chosen to be so.

Negative. It's a formal solicitation of counsel, as had been the case prior.

I will do it. I will be a lawyer. How do I get into law school or whatever? In real life I mostly specialize in bird law, but I think I could learn Talossan law well enough to be a practicing attorney.

One of the MPTs when I took the bar was all about chicken coups and whatnot, and we all left the room like, "so bird law is a thing after all."

There's a bar exam you can take.  You can look at the current court cases and see how the petitions to join the bar are formulated, and submit one yourself.  If you'd like some help, please PM me.
