NOTE: Non-lawyers should consult a lawyer, when at all possible, and should avoid representing themselves pro se. The foregoing links to legal websites are not intended to substitute for the advice of an attorney. If you attempt to represent yourself in a court case, and you are not an attorney, I practically guarantee that you will make a critical error! It has nothing to do with your intelligence or perspicacity; it is merely a question of training.
