Questions about representing yourself in court
Where do I start if I am representing myself?
Read the papers you received and identify the court and its instructions. To start a court case, begin with that court’s resources for your case type. Do not assume the same procedures apply nationwide.
Contact your local court for this information — Find Your Local CourtDo I need to register as a pro se litigant?
Representing yourself is commonly called appearing ‘pro se’ or being a ‘self-represented litigant.’ There is no single nationwide registration process. Creating an e-filing account does not itself start a case, file a response, or extend a deadline.
Contact your local court for this information — Find Your Local CourtWhere can I find forms for my court?
Use forms and instructions from the court handling your case; a form may not apply to every kind of matter.
