Not quite I think:
There’s a lawyers’ saying about people such as Heather Mills who represent themselves in court – the client who chooses himself as his lawyer is a fool.
Isn’t the phrase rather, he who chooses to represent himself has a fool for a lawyer?

Not quite that either. The usual formulation (and the pithiest, because it ignores political correctness over gender) is:
‘A man who chooses to be his own lawyer has a fool for a client.’
Tim adds: Thanks for that.

And those who choose a lawyer to represent them have a thieving c*** representing them.
