An Episode in My Lawsuit as Plaintiff

One episode or experience in one of my lawsuits as plaintiff.
Courts probably don’t like Pro Per or Pro Se (self-representing) litigants. Because, they rather discourage than help.
So, at some point of my lawsuits, I felt I should hire a lawyer; and I did for this time. And, I felt I should win since I must have strong merits in my case.
However, at some point, my own lawyer strangely, abruptly turned against me, and later lost the case.
So, before judgment was entered, I fired my lawyer and I represented myself again; and filed a motion, “Motion for Retrial”.
At the hearing of the motion, I walked the judge thru, one by one, step by step, based on mutually (legally) agreeable objective facts and evidence.
(I assured him he ‘may correct me if I am wrong’.)
And, I asked the judge, “Is there any reason why I cannot win this case?”
(From his demeaner, I could tell the judge must have been so embarrassed in front of the people in the courtroom.)
The judge could not answer at all, because I knew and explained (and submitted) procedurally, factually, and further legally all correct, (at least, enough to win); [although they (the court) had repeatedly tried to find a small reason to reject my cases in any of those aspects].
Unfortunately, the judge still made me lose the case, via written statement, NOT at the hearing, but some days after.
Who said the court would be fair, even in an obvious clear-cut case…? Picture from fb
