Everyone is allowed to defend himself, which is allowed by our law, but it is a situation to hire a lawyer in this era, and there is a reason.
First, lawyers are professionals after all. After all, they know more about the law than we do. Unless they are lawyers, let them be more competent in defense.
Second, now everyone demands legal justice. If there is no lawyer (this is generally for criminal cases), it is suspected that the judiciary is not open and unfair.
There is a saying: "Have the right to remain silent, and have the right to ask a lawyer to testify." Third, as I said above, this is already a situation, and courts usually invite lawyers. Of course, civil cases are not that serious. What we are pursuing now is a harmonious society, so now civil cases emphasize mediation more.
