What Is A “Pro Se Party” Or A “Pro Se Litigant” In A New Jersey Lawsuit?

If you are not represented by an attorney in a New Jersey case, you are called a “pro se litigant” or a “pro se party”.  In New Jersey lawsuits, pro se parties file their own paperwork with the court and appear for themselves in New Jersey court instead of having an attorney to represent them. 

Pro Se Special Civil Part Business Representation -- What Happens If The New Jersey Lawsuit Involves A Corporation, Partnership Or Limited Liability Company?

The officers of corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies and the like cannot generally appear New Jersey in cases involving disputes exceeding $3,000 since the corporation, partnership or limited liability company must usually be represented by an attorney in New Jersey courts.  There may be some exceptions to this rule, such as where the New Jersey case involves a summary action for possession of premises.  

Pro Se Representation In New Jersey -- Can I Handle A New Jersey Case Myself?

Many pro se parties can and do successfully handle New Jersey cases, from filing the first New Jersey paperwork to the collection of a New Jersey judgment.  However, many other people also make mistakes that lead to the dismissal of their New Jersey Special Civil cases or that result in the entry of a New Jersey money judgment against them.  The greater the money at stake, the greater the reason to consider using the services of a competent attorney licensed to practice law in New Jersey to handle part or all of the New Jersey case.  The following are reasons why pro se parties should use an attorney to handle part or all of their New Jersey case:

·         New Jersey fees often change

·         New Jersey rules often change

·         New Jersey employees cannot give you “free” legal advice and a judge may refuse to let you claim that you were right in taking an action (or in deciding not to take action) because you relied on advice from such employees

·         New Jersey court forms available on websites may not cover every situation you may face in court

·         each New Jersey case has its own particular legal issues and therefore, its own challenges

·         it is very common for people to file inadequate or incorrect New Jersey Special Civil complaints that result in the New Jersey Special Civil complaints or answers to New Jersey Special Civil complaints being rejected by the New Jersey or being dismissed by the New Jersey after filing and before or after trial because of procedural deficiencies.  

·         it is not uncommon for judges to get very frustrated by an unrepresented party’s lack of preparation or ignorance of the facts or law of the New Jersey case. 

·         a court has the power to punish unprepared parties, such as by throwing their case out of court or limiting what they can present at the New Jersey trial. 

·         New Jersey has many published cases, laws, regulations, court rules and rules of evidence that can be very tricky to understand and that can be used to prevent you from doing much of what you want to do at the New Jersey trial. 

·         it is very common for courts to refuse to allow a party to use or refer to documents or items at the New Jersey trial that the person themselves never prepared.  Often parties stumble into New Jersey with a video, photograph, bill or affidavit or other form of written statement, thinking they are going to use it as proof that they lost money or that they are not responsible for someone else’s damages, only to have a judge tell the parties that it is not going to even consider such items or documents. 

·         without the proper preparation, items and documents may never be considered by the New Jersey.  Also, if there are any legal issues to be dealt with at the New Jersey trial, you must be prepared to argue them, which may require you to refer to court rules, evidence rules, laws, regulations or published cases. 

·         you cannot show up at the New Jersey expecting the judge hearing your New Jersey case to explain court rules, evidence rules, court procedure or the details of the law that applies to your New Jersey case.  The judge hearing your New Jersey case is not permitted to give you legal advice.

It is important to remember that even if you have an attorney, you could lose your New Jersey case.  Hiring an attorney to handle part or all of your New Jersey case does not guarantee your success.  However, it may provide what is needed to win your New Jersey case or to avoid certain mistakes.
