Nonlawyers, including court personnel, are typically prohibited from providing legal advice. But definitions of “legal advice” are unnecessarily broad, creating confusion, disadvantaging self-represented litigants, and possibly raising due-process concerns. This Essay argues for a narrower, more explicit definition of legal advice that advances, rather than undercuts, access to justice.

对“法律建议”的过度限制

非律师，包括法庭人员，通常被禁止提供法律建议。但“法律建议”的定义过于宽泛，会造成混淆，不利于自我代理的诉讼人，并可能引发正当程序问题。这篇文章主张对法律建议进行更狭隘、更明确的定义，以促进而不是削弱诉诸司法的机会。
