Illinois Appearance Pro Se is a legal process that allows individuals to represent themselves in court without the assistance of an attorney. This process is also referred to as "pro SE," which is Latin for "for oneself." It is commonly used in small claims courts and other courts throughout Illinois. There are two types of Illinois Appearance Pro Se available: 1. In Form Paupers (IFP): This process allows individuals who cannot afford an attorney to represent themselves in court. An IFP application must be filed with the court and approved before the individual can proceed with this type of Illinois Appearance Pro Se. 2. Limited Representation: This process allows individuals to represent themselves in court, but they will receive limited assistance from an attorney. This type of Illinois Appearance Pro Se is generally recommended for more complex cases, such as bankruptcy or criminal cases.
