This week, the court is expected to hear arguments on a packed slate of issues, including what the process should be for allowing Britney Spears to choose her own lawyer

During more than 20 minutes of explosive testimony on June 23, Spears said that even though she’s built a relationship with her court-appointed attorney Samuel D. Ingham III, she wants to pick her own counsel. “I haven’t really had the opportunity by my own self to actually handpick my own lawyer,” she said. “I would like to be able to do that.”Ingham and court-appointed co-counsel from Loeb & Loeb on July 6 told the court they want to resign as soon as a replacement is found.
Zetjian says it’s a clever move, as long as the guardian agrees with Spears’ choice. “Having a guardian ad litem involved helps mitigate some of the risk of whether Britney has capacity to make that decision,” he says, adding that it allows her to provide “input in her own legal representation while maintaining the protections of the conservatorship until there is just cause to modify or terminate.
