When you represent yourself, you are referred to as a “self-represented litigant” or “pro-se litigant.” Even if you don’t have a lawyer, judges can’t give you legal advice. Court employees are also not allowed to give you legal advice. They are also not allowed to speak with you about your case outside of the courtroom. Going to court without an attorney can be extremely difficult. You should learn as much as you can about your legal issue.
