Legal Self-help and the Practical Reality of Civil Litigation: Settlements, Costs, and Strategic Thinking
Litigants or parties representing themselves in court without the assistance of an attorney are known as pro se litigants. “Pro se” is Latin for “in one's own behalf.” The term “pro per” is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase “in propria persona,” meaning “in their own person,” is also used in some states. It means the same as "pro se."
The right to appear pro se in a civil case in federal court is defined by statute 28 U.S.C. § 1654.
