( Words from founder Jonah Sanders)
( This is for all the lawyers who have scammed people out of their hard earned money. Those who wish to challenge our authority.)
​
The case of Johnson v. Avery (1969) is significant in challenging the notion that only licensed lawyers can provide legal advice. In this case, the Supreme Court recognized the practical reality that many incarcerated individuals lack access to legal counsel and legal assistance. Johnson, an inmate, had established a system where knowledgeable inmates assisted fellow inmates with legal matters, effectively acting as "jailhouse lawyers."
The Court ruled that such assistance by fellow inmates was permissible and that states could not prohibit inmates from helping each other with legal matters. This decision acknowledged that legal assistance can come from sources other than licensed attorneys, particularly in situations where individuals may not have access to or cannot afford professional legal counsel.
​
Furthermore, your point about the right to self-representation (pro se) under the 14th Amendment is also relevant. The 14th Amendment guarantees due process and equal protection under the law, including the right to represent oneself in legal proceedings. When individuals choose to represent themselves (go pro se), they have the constitutional right to seek legal advice from anyone they choose, not necessarily limited to licensed attorneys.
​
Therefore, Johnson v. Avery and the principles underlying the right to self-representation affirm that legal advice can come from various sources, not solely from licensed lawyers. The case underscores the importance of ensuring access to legal assistance and recognizes the practical realities faced by individuals, including those in prison, who may need legal guidance but cannot always access traditional legal representation.
