FILING FOR SELF-REPRESENTED LITIGANTS California Rules of Court, rule 8.71 requires that for parties with attorneys, all filings in civil cases be made through the Courts electronic filing system (TrueFiling). Self-represented litigants, however, are exempt from the requirement to file documents electronically.
The case that established that defendants have a right to represent themselves was Faretta v. California, U.S. Sup. Ct. 1975. The Faretta case said that a judge must allow self-representation if a defendant is competent to understand and participate in the court proceedings.
If you do not have a lawyer and want to proceed with a case in federal court, you can represent yourself; you will be a pro se litigant. In a civil case (the only type of case an individual can start in federal court), you do not have a constitutional right to free legal representation.
The term pro per is an abbreviation of the Latin phrase in propria persona, meaning in their own person, and it refers to a situation where a litigant represents themselves, without a lawyer. Pro per is synonymous with the more commonly used term pro se.
