1990 Interview with Morris Dees https://www.jstor.org/stable/29759412?seq=1#page_scan_tab_contents Litigation (American Bar Association)
“We do without the lawyers, certainly… It would not seem reasonable to us, in a case where the only interest of the nation is to find out the truth, that persons should take part in the proceedings who had an acknowledged motive to color it. But who defends the accused? If he is a criminal he needs no defense, for he pleads guilty in most instances. The plea of the accused is not a mere formality with us, as with you. It is usually the end of the case.”
