For those who are following the criminal proceedings against HRM Romana Didulo, Queen of Canada, I have conducted an analysis of recent media reports:

In brief, looks like Romana is taking an aggressive approach to her litigation. Pseudolaw is very likely in play.

Most of what is written about pseudolaw comes from academics, so-called "experts" (like me!), and lawyers.
We don't often see the judicial perspective. That makes the "Sovereign citizens: ideology, impacts and judicial responses" chapter in the "Handbook for Judicial Officers" interesting.
