About this tag
Pro se litigation refers to individuals representing themselves in court without an attorney. Recent discussions on WindowsForum highlight how artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT are influencing pro se litigation, with a notable surge in self-represented federal civil filings. A working paper from MIT and USC indicates that non-prisoner pro se filings rose from 11 percent to 16.8 percent in fiscal 2025, suggesting AI lowers barriers to entry. However, these filings often include hallucinated citations and do not improve success rates, creating new pressures on the justice system. This topic intersects with technology, legal access, and the practical challenges of AI-generated legal documents.
