One of the reasons for these idiots to carry on like they do is that courts will bend over backward for parties representing themselves. "Procedure" really is one of the more esoteric parts of the law, and the one least applicable in everyday life, so judges will read this garbage and try to pick through it for SOME semblance of a sensible request. This means that the SovCit gets their documents filed, gets their day in court, and very occasionally even gets something that feels like a win, whether that's some relief, the usual traffic cop who can't be arsed to show up to testify, or a prosecutor whose docket is too full up to deal with this shit again. In their minds, it's all magic anyway, so if their magic gets some result, even temporary, they feel like they were right to go to Hogwarts after all.
