Choshen Mishpat is set from the Lemberg 1898 edition, which is unpointed, so the vowels switch has nothing to remove here.

Se’if 1א׳

נתבע אם יכול לעשות מורשה. ובו סעיף אחד: הנתבע אינו יכול למנות מורשה שיבא לב"ד וישיב בעדו לתובע והוא ישב בביתו ונשים יקרות שאין כבודן לבא לב"ד משגרין להן סופרי הדיינים ויטענו בפניהם וכיוצא בזה עושים לתלמיד חכם שתורתו אומנתו וזילא ביה מילתא למיזל לב"ד ולערער בהדי ע"ה:

Whether a defendant can make an attorney; it contains one se'if. The defendant cannot appoint an attorney who would come to court and answer the claimant on his behalf while he sits at home. But to honoured women, whose dignity is not to come to court, the scribes of the judges are sent, and the parties plead before them; and the like is done for a Torah scholar whose Torah is his occupation and for whom it is a slight to go to court and contend with an am ha-aretz (one unlearned in the Torah).
