Justice for Pro Se's - Paperback
by Richard a. Posner (Author)
Pro se's are in a difficult position, not only because most of them can't afford lawyers and the rest don't have lawyers, but also and perhaps more importantly because of widespread judicial hostility to them; they are thought by many judges unworthy of the attention of the judiciary. As explained in detail in my two books mentioned at the outset of this book, I retired from my court last September because of my distress at the summary fashion in which the court disposed of pro se appeals-rejecting them even when they had merit. We as a team can and I hope will accomplish more for the pro se community than has ever been done before. We have a virtually infinite number of choices of how to make a difference. The most important threshold issues are how best to spend our finite time and how to organize an effective institution. First and foremost is our commitment to help pro se individuals, in whatever respects their legitimate needs dictate, to the extent we're able. The members of the Posner Center of Justice for Pro Se's have each made that choice, and the pro se world is the fortunate beneficiary of the choise.
Author Biography
Richard Posner has devoted his professional career to teaching and judging. He spent twelve years as professor of law at the University of Chicago Law School, and 35 years on the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, including seven years as chief judge. He has written more than 66 books on many aspects of law, including most recently Reflections on Judging, Divergent Paths, and The Federal Judiciary, Strengths and Weaknesses. Upon retiring from the judiciary in September 2017, he created a nonprofit company (soon to be nationwide) called the Posner Center of Justice for Pro Se's, which provides legal assistance and guidance to pro se's, i.e., litigants who either can't afford to hire lawyers or want to represent themselves in any legal disputes that they become involved in.
