Rules for Pro Se Litigants probonolegal.net

Rules for Pro Se Litigants: Generally speaking Pro Se Litigants are held to a higher standard than Attorneys. This is because the court does not want to allow people to think that just because you choose not to hire an attorney that you are not fully bound by the Rules of Civil Procedures. In fact, as a Pro Se Litigant the court will allow attorneys to cut corner and not extend the same privilege to a Pro Se Litigant even when the imbalance is blatant and obvious.
