What does "Pro Se" refer to in legal terminology?

A party represented by a lawyer
A party who decides to represent themselves
An in-house attorney
A legal assistant

The correct answer is: A party who decides to represent themselves

"Pro Se" is a Latin term that translates to "for oneself." In legal terminology, it refers to a party who chooses to represent themselves in a legal proceeding without the assistance of a lawyer. This situation often arises when individuals believe they can handle their case independently, either due to a lack of financial resources for legal representation or a belief that they can effectively argue their position. The pro se litigant is responsible for understanding legal procedures and formulating arguments and documentation necessary for their case. While representing oneself can save on legal fees, it also comes with challenges, as the individual must navigate complex legal systems and protocols on their own.
