I understand why normal people shouldn’t, but why shouldn’t lawyers represent themselves?

It’s similar to why a doctor shouldn’t treat their own illnesses. Doctor’s can’t be objective about their own treatment because they have biases about what they are feeling or what it can be. For example, they might prescribe themselves more painkillers than they would to a patient with the same symptoms, because the doctor is feeling the pain themselves and that is clouding their judgement.
