I think the article is very informative for the self-repper.
It would not of occurred to me to go into any courtroom with a judge and expect them to have NOT READ the materials they're to "judge" on.
How bloody naïve of me?

But it also brings to mind why I think this happens: Many people in their legal pursuits write a whole bunch of irrelevant crap that a judge would have to weed through. I would bet this pisses off a judge and also gives a glimpse of what is going on and with whom in a case... I don't think a judge really cares whose socks a kid wears or if they wear blue or grey underwear but I've seen pages of this stuff in affidavits and I question the value of it in anyone's case, regardless if they are Applicant or Respondent. And I have to wonder what it costs to prepare documents no one reads or no one cares about.
