When you proceed in Court without the assistance of an attorney, you are proceeding pro se, which is Latin for "in one's own behalf." Please understand that federal courts are best described as courts of limited jurisdiction.
To file a civil lawsuit, you must complete a Complaint form, a Summons form as well as a Civil Division Action Cover Sheet. These forms are available in the Civil Division of the Office of the Clerk of the Circuit Court of Cook County (Clerk's Office) in Room 601 of the Richard J.
The Appearance form is required in most civil court cases. For example, you must file an Appearance when: o Someone sues you and you want to participate in the court case. If you do not file an Appearance and go to court as needed, the court case might go ahead without you and the court might rule against you.
