Rob didn't convince me of jack. Anybody with any knowledge of the legal system knows you don't have to be an attorney to bring a case or defend yourself. Not only is Rob's job an excellent example of this, look at the Texas anti-abortion law where the State of Texas empowered private individuals to bring cases against anybody who had or assisted somebody in getting an abortion. Another example is small claims courts. I assume Rob goes to an "Administrative Court;" they have them here where I (who am not an attorney) could represent myself in a case. What Rob is describing is common place. Additionally, only a fool would think the gov't pays attorneys to prosecute small cases of welfare fraud, etc because the attorneys would charge more than they would recover. I worked for DHS, I know how administrative law works. If you commit $3k in tax fraud, do you think the IRS sends it's attorneys to court; the answer is no, they send an agent, just like you're (probably) not going to pay an attorney a couple grand to defend the case.
