It was necessary because laziness is not the reason pro se's feel overwhelmed and then give up.
Not everyone can afford a $400 an hour attorney and are painted into the corner of defending themselves. Do the attorneys who think pro se's are "lazy" have to work full time, come home, feed their families and then study an unknown profession until midnight?
Despite what attorneys think, they do not have a monopoly on intelligence, just the law.
Yes it is unethical, immoral and in poor taste to file an appeal and then not follow up on it.
It is also in poor taste to sewer serve people, or lie to people, or use the courts to take money from people who simply cannot defend themselves.
Are pro se's any more unethical than lawyers?
Didnt an attorney, actually a judge, just sue some poor immigrants for $54 million over a lost pair of $20 pants, nearly bankrupting them?
