CAN I DEFEND MYSELF IN A TRIAL?

Clarifications on self-representation in a lawsuit
What is procedural postulation?
When we speak of procedural postulation in law we are referring to the procedural capacity of any person, whether natural or legal, who wants to initiate a procedure or intervene in a trial. As a general rule, in order to do so, all persons are required to do so through the representation of an attorney and the defense of a lawyer.

However, this is not always the case, since citizens may represent themselves in a trial, and be a party to the same without a lawyer or attorney, as provided for in Articles 23.2 and 31.2 respectively, of the Civil Procedure Act, which establishes the few exceptions provided for in this regard.

However, even in these cases foreseen and authorized by the Law, it is never advisable to initiate or appear in a lawsuit without the advice of professionals.
