The National Association of Pro Se Litigants

Our Mission

1. Enable pro se litigants and fight to protect their rights and interests.

2. Raise public awareness that constitutional rights are not guaranteed and pinpoint the three major reasons   average citizens are denied rights.

     a. Judicial Corruption and Incompetence

     b. Lawyer Corruption and Incompetence

     c. Flaws in the design of the Judicial System

3. Hold lawyers and judges personally accountable when they betray public trust.

4. Correct the picture that the corrupt elements of our justice system have painted of pro se litigants.

   a. We are not ignorant.  Many of us have advanced degrees and understand the law better than those licensed to practice it. 

   b. We are not crazy.

   c. We are not anti-government.

   d. We are American Citizens, many who have served our country, and we are merely seeking what our Constitution purports to guarantee -- Liberty and Justice For All!

Why We Do What We Do
We are tired of being victims of our own justice system; paying outrageous attorney fees, and still receiving substandard service.  In addition, even when we can afford an attorney, we often become victims of our attorney's greed, laziness or incompetence. 

For every case that goes to litigation, 50% of the attorneys will lose their case, so right off the bat if we hire an attorney we only have a 50-50 chance of winning our case.  We have come to realize that an attorney can never be as passionate about our case as we are, and when you factor in attorney greed, laziness or incompetence, and judicial corruption, then the chances of us being satisfied with the outcome our case is far below the 50-50 ratio. So, why should we pay exorbitant fees for an outcome that has a higher probability of yielding a dissatisfactory outcome than yielding a satisfactory one?  What other industry in the world can get away with charging $225 an hour while having such horrific odds of yielding a result that their client is satisfied with?  None that we can think of.

In addition, we believe that for purposes of job security and other greedy reasons,  pro se litigants'  rights are constantly trampled, by the very people entrusted to uphold or fight vigorously to protect our rights.

The character and quality of the American Justice System has eroded. Pro-se Litigants are routinely discouraged and denied rights. Pro-se litigants receive no respect -- and yet are held to higher standards than attorneys.  Corruption is as blatant as a Court Clerk manipulating the record to a Judge issuing a ruling that is designed to intentionally block a pro-se litigant's access to justice. 

Our message to the Legal Community    
We have had enough!  We will follow the rules of the system, but we now demand that you follow those same rules.  If you conduct yourself with honesty and integrity, then we have no qualms with you.  But if you are one of the corrupt, overpriced, lazy or incompetent members of the legal community;  we will shine a spotlight on you.   Every blunder, every unjust ruling, every dirty trick you've ever played, every incompetent, unethical act will be broadcast to the public. Every case you handle will be publicly scrutinized until you make right the lives you have ruined or you are out of business, whichever comes first. 

We are not afraid to call you out!  We are not afraid to picket in front of your law offices or any place where you present yourself as a respectable, credible, trustworthy member of society, which you are not.  We are not afraid to boycott you; and we will not be intimidated by defamation or any other type of lawsuit or harassment techniques that you cook up.  

Despite our disgust at the corruption that has overtaken our justice system, we will treat you more fairly than you've treated us, so we do not need to defame you.  If we put a spotlight on you, you have already defiled yourself.  We will simply convict you in the Court of Public Opinion using your own words and deeds. 

And we will leave it to the public to sentence you.  Loss of business, respect, credibility, standing on the Bench or in the Bar, or denial of political advancement are what we predict the sentence will and should be.

    
THE BENEFITS
We provide benefit to pro-se litigants through our services;  to the legal community by pointing out and providing solutions to corruption and inefficiencies in the system (so that you may fix them) and we provide benefit to society by facilitating an alternative for aggrieved people -- who without equal access to the law -- may take justice into their own hands -- as vigilantes.   Therefore, it is in everyone's best interest that pro-se litigants be treated with respect, and fairly.
