No Fault

Our Daily Bread featured Clarence Earl Gideon who, from his prison cell in 1962, wrote the Supreme Court to review his case. It  was tried without a lawyer whom he couldn't afford. It turned out he was really innocent and that started the state providing a public defender whenever needed.

Mediation does not need legal representation too. The mediator is the advocate for both disputants.
