	Pro se - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Pro se is a Latin adjective meaning "for self", that is applied to someone who represents themselves without a lawyer in a court proceeding, whether as a defendant or a plaintiff and whether the matter is civil or criminal.
		Pro se litigants are usually able to obtain assistance from a pro se clerk, or in very limited circumstances, the judge may even give certain advice from the bench on how to navigate the law.
		Other pro se litigants may themselves be lawyers or have other legal experience, or simply be confident in their ability to convey their claim or defense without professional aid.

		These clerks usually work within the staff attorney office or a separate office and handle pro se matters such as civil rights complaints, prisoner habeas corpus petitions, employment discrimination complaints, social security disability appeals, and other cases in which the plaintiff is not represented by an attorney.
		Clerks are actively involved in resolving discovery disputes, conducting pre-trial and status conferences, rendering opinions for dispositive and other pre-trial motions, facilitating settlement negotiations, handling cases through trial, and more.
		Clerks spend the majority of their time in chambers or the court's library reviewing the trial court record and researching and analyzing the legal issues on appeal.

		If petitioner had been proceeding pro se throughout the Rule 37 proceeding, or if the record reflected that the attorney who filed the original Rule 37 petition had been relieved as counsel, we would not hesitate to find that petitioner had failed to exercise diligence in pursuing the appeal.
		He was, however, not proceeding pro se orginally, and his attorney, Tona M. DeMers, was obligated to obtain a ruling on the Rule 37 petition and remain as petitioner's attorney until relieved by the trial court or this court.
		Even though petitioner Sanders filed an pro se amended petition and a pro se notice of appeal, his attorney had not been relieved and was thus obligated to continue representing him, which included lodging the Rule 37 record here.

		Pro se people usually go it alone because they cannot find or afford a lawyer, but some choose to represent themselves despite the availability of lawyers.

	USCA1 Opinion 99-1838
		On April 27, 1998, the Clerk returned the complaint and the check for $120 to Casanova with a form letter stating that "the remainder of the filing fee in the amount of $30 is missing." Two days later, Casanova wrote to the court, stating that the filing fee would be resent.
		Despite Rothberger's communications with the Clerk's Office, on June 11, 1998, the Clerk again returned the complaint to Casanova with a form letter indicating that it could not be docketed without a filing fee or an application to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP).
		Rothberger then apparently spoke with the pro se clerk directly, and requested that she hold the $150 filing fee until Casanova could resubmit the complaint.
