A Sample of What You Will Learn

Our Comprehensive Online Course Includes 46 main Lessons with 151 additional Topics, all thoroughly explained

Start Your Own Lawsuit - How to Draft Your Complaint

Your lawsuit begins with a complaint you will draft and file with the court. A "complaint" is a document that describes what you want (money or some other type of relief) and why you believe you are entitled to that relief. There are very simple - yet critical - requirements to drafting a winning complaint. If your complaint does not contain the necessary elements, your defendant may be able to get the case dismissed even before it gets started. You will learn how to draft an effective complaint.

Are You Being Sued? Learn What You Must Do As Your First Steps

Your successful defense begins as soon as you become aware you are being sued. Your first step - if you wish to avoid default judgment - is to draft an effective answer to the complaint. An effective "answer" is a document that explains why the plaintiff is not entitled under the law to the relief he or she seeks. There are simple - yet critical - requirements to drafting an effective answer. This can be the most critical stage of the lawsuit. You will learn how to draft an effective answer to the complaint.

The 62 Most Common Causes of Action (aka: Your Right to Sue)

A "cause of action" refers to the legal grounds that allow someone to file a lawsuit. It is the specific set of facts or circumstances that give a person the right to take legal action against another party. For example, if someone breaches a contract, that breach could be the cause of action for a lawsuit. Essentially, it is the basis for a legal claim or complaint. You will learn the 62 most common causes of action and - most importantly - the essential elements you must prove for each cause of action.

Using to Motions to Win A Case without going to trial

There are five common types of motions you may be able to file to win your case (or get the case dismissed) without needing to go to trial. You have the right to bring these motions whether you are the plaintiff or the defendant. A properly pled motion (or response) may force your opponent into a position where he will realize that it is best to simply give you what you want. You will learn which motions are applicable to your situation, what the requirements are, and how to draft them.

The 48 Most Common Affirmative Defenses to Get the Case Dismissed

An affirmative defense is like saying, "Yes, I did what I'm accused of, but I had a good reason, so I shouldn't be held responsible." It is a way for someone facing a legal claim or accusation to present additional facts or arguments that could justify or excuse their actions. Learn which affirmative defenses are applicable in your case - based on the causes of action. You will learn how to state your affirmative defenses - as part of your initial answer - to get the case dismissed as soon as it gets started.

The 55 Most Common Objections You Can Make - and When Not To

A very important part of getting what you want - whether a judgment or dismissal - is to prevent your opponent from offering statements or evidence to the court where those statements or evidence would work against you. The tool you will use is the legal objection. You may have heard "Objection! Hearsay!" or "Objection! Relevance!" in TV or movies. These are just two of the 55 most common objections you may be able to use. Learn when and how to use them - and when not to..

Evidence - Learn What it Is... and What it is Not

A strong case (or defense) requires "Admissible" evidence. Many people believe that any scrap of paper or any statement by a friend is admissible evidence. This is not true. There are specific requirements for any item (or statement) to be recognized by the court as evidence. You will learn what those types of evidence are. If you are the plaintiff, you will force the court to recognize your evidence. If you are the defendant, you will object to your opponent's evidence so that it cannot be used against you.

Discovery - the Five Techniques to Get the Evidence You Need to Win

The law gives you the right to obtain evidence from your opponent to allow you to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each side of the lawsuit. Discovery also allows you to "lock in" a witness as to his or her testimony. You will know before trial exactly what your opponent's witnesses will say. This will allow you to best prepare to counter their statements. You will learn the five techniques you can use to force your opponent to provide that valuable evidence you need to win.

Prepare For Trial - The Trial Sequence and Procedure

If you have employed the strategies in The Pro Se Playbook, you should have been able to force your opponent to work with you to avoid a trial. If, on the other hand, your opponent is unreasonable, you may find yourself goiong to trial. Learn about the trial options avaiable to you, the procedure from start to finish, and how to ensure the court record contains all you need to pursue an appeal if that should become necessary.

The Financial Benefits of Representing Yourself in Court

Representing yourself in court, also known as "pro se" representation, can offer significant financial benefits, especially when legal fees and court expenses are otherwise substantial. Here’s a closer look at the financial advantages:

1. Avoiding attorney fees...The primary financial benefit of self-representation is avoiding the cost of hiring a lawyer. The average billing rate for a U.S. attorney in 2023 was over $200/hour. Attorneys often charge by the hour, with rates that vary widely depending on experience, location, and specialization. Even brief consultations or court appearances can add up quickly.

2. Reduced case expenses... Although some court fees are unavoidable, self-representation can give you greater control over additional expenses. For example, you can opt to do your own research, manage your own filings, and avoid costs associated with a lawyer’s administrative expenses. In addition, lawyers charge for preparing and filing documents, which can be costly over the duration of a case. Representing yourself allows you to prepare and submit your own filings, potentially saving hundreds or thousands of dollars.

3. Lower costs in Small or Simple Cases... In cases where the amount of money at stake is relatively small (like disputes in Small Claims Court), paying a lawyer might not make financial sense. Representing yourself ensures that the cost of legal fees doesn’t exceed the potential recovery or value of the case. Also, in straightforward cases, such as basic contract disputes or minor traffic offenses, the legal issues may be relatively easy to understand and navigate without legal counsel, reducing the need for an attorney's assistance.

4. Potential to Settle Early and Independently... Representing yourself allows you to negotiate directly with the opposing party, which can sometimes lead to faster resolutions. By settling early, you can reduce time in court and the associated costs of prolonging a legal dispute.

Pros and Cons of Self-Representation in Court

Self-Representation is when an individual chooses to represent themselves without a lawyer. This can be a valid choice for some but may carry significant challenges. Let’s look at the pros and cons:

Pros of Self-Representation:

  1. Cost Savings:

    The most obvious benefit is the avoidance of legal fees. Hiring an attorney can be very expensive, and for those with limited resources, self-representation can save a substantial amount of money.

  2. Control Over the Case:

    You maintain full control over your case. You make all strategic decisions and present your arguments in the way you see fit without relying on a lawyer's interpretation or advice.

  3. Direct Communication:

    You communicate directly with the judge, opposing counsel, and witnesses, which can sometimes be more straightforward without a middleman (lawyer).

  4. Flexibility and Personal Touch:

    You may feel more connected to your case and be able to present personal aspects or emotional appeals that might be less compelling when conveyed by an attorney.

  5. Better Understanding of Your Own Case:

    Representing yourself forces you to deeply understand the facts, laws, and procedures of your case. This knowledge can be empowering, especially if you’re well-prepared.
Cons of Self-Representation:

  1. Lack of Legal Knowledge:

    The biggest drawback is the lack of legal expertise. Law is complex, and without proper training, you may not understand procedural rules, legal terminology, or substantive law, which could weaken your case.

  2. Emotional Involvement:

    It’s easy to become emotionally overwhelmed, especially in high-stakes cases (e.g., divorce, child custody, criminal defense). This can impair your judgment and decision-making.

  3. Inexperience with Court Procedure:

    Courts have strict procedural rules (filing documents, meeting deadlines, presenting evidence). Minor errors can lead to delays, dismissal of your case, or unfavorable rulings.

  4. Bias Against Self-Represented Litigants:

    Although judges are supposed to be impartial, there can be an implicit bias against self-represented litigants. You might be seen as unprepared or lacking credibility compared to parties represented by lawyers.

  5. Increased Burden:

    Handling a case is time-consuming. You must research, draft legal documents, gather evidence, and attend court hearings, which can be difficult if you have other responsibilities (e.g., work, family).

  6. Potential for Worse Outcomes:

    Without a lawyer’s expertise, you may misinterpret legal issues, miss critical defenses, or fail to negotiate effectively, leading to a worse outcome than if you had legal representation.
When Self-Representation Might Make Sense:
  • Small Claims Court: Cases are usually straightforward, and the amount of money at stake is relatively low.
  • Simple Legal Issues: If the case involves a simple legal issue or low risk, representing yourself may be feasible.
  • Availability of Legal Resources: If there are accessible self-help resources, legal aid, or court assistance programs, these can help bridge the knowledge gap.
When Legal Representation Is Recommended:
  • Complex Legal Matters: Cases involving criminal charges, serious financial disputes, or complex family law matters typically require legal expertise.
  • High Stakes: If the case has significant financial, personal, or liberty-related consequences, it is safer to hire a lawyer.
  • Inexperienced Litigant: If you are unfamiliar with legal processes, the risks of self-representation often outweigh the benefits.
