Pro Se Or Pro Per

Question: Is pro per (or pro se) litigation good experience to make law school easier? In other words, does a law student with pro per experience have an advantage over law students with no experience at all? If an adult is planning to change careers to law in the future, does it make sense for that person to welcome litigation for the benefits of the experience? Such as being stubborn when a neighbor threatens to sue over something minor?

Answer: Not really, no. You really have the wrong idea about Law, but so do a relatively small number of attorneys. It's not about litigation for litigation's sake. It's about resolving disputes reasonably, and that doesn't always take litigation. Most of the time, litigation means someone is not being reasonable. You'd be better off using such arguments with the neighbors as a chance to settle matters reasonably. It'd make you a much better lawyer in the long run.

Question: What forms do i need to file rule 11 sanctions against a person doing "In Pro Per" (per se)? I have full custody of my 2 kids. The custody was given to me by the Juvenile court system. Now my ex-wife is fighting me in Family Court for custody. I am being harassed unmercifally in court and I thought I should be protected under "Welfare & Institutions Code Section 302(d). She filed her second petition 2 days after the Juvenile court terminated jurisdiction in Family Court.

Answer: Find an attorney who is just started n business and is hungry,, you will be better off then doing it yourself. This is your child, you can make payments to the attorney. Attorney's know people, etc. You will never get the same from the judge pro se' as you will with an attorney. After all, a judge is an attorney also..

Question: When is it correct to use the term "pro per" as opposed to the term "pro se"?

Answer: pro per adj. short for "propria persona," which is Latin for "for oneself," usually applied to a person who represents himself/herself in a lawsuit rather than have an attorney. pro se (proh say) prep. Latin for "for himself." A party to a lawsuit who represents himself (acting in propria persona) is appearing in the case "pro se." I don't really think it matters. Most people who are pro per or pro se don't know either term. However, if I were representing myself and presenting myself to the court, I would anounce that I am pro se. If you are representing your self, and I am refering to you, I would say that you are pro per. But that is just me.

Question: Is being "Pro-Christ" per se being "Anti-Catholic" and vice versa? The Catholic Church takes the focus off Christ's sacrifice and the sovereignty of God by diffusing it through saints, idols, rituals, and false doctrine. Is it safe to say that if I testify for Christ, I testify against the Roman Catholic Church? That is to say, telling the Truth about Christ is a de facto challenge to RCC's lies?

Answer: If you are truly Pro Christ, I would have to say that being so makes you against the Catholic religion. You see, the Catholic religion is not ordained by God. Actually, it is spoken against (you shall have no other gods before Me-1 of the 10 commandments, revamped in Matthew 19:16-22. 16Now a man came up to Jesus and asked, "Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?" 17"Why do you ask me about what is good?" Jesus replied. "There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, obey the commandments." 18"Which ones?" the man inquired. Jesus replied, " 'Do not murder, do not commit adultery, do not steal, do not give false testimony, 19honor your father and mother,'[d] and 'love your neighbor as yourself.'[e]" 20"All these I have kept," the young man said. "What do I still lack?" 21Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." 22When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth. Yes, this talks about having money before God, but the idea is the same. NO ONE should come before God. The catholic church puts the Pope as the head of the church. This is not ok. God/Jesus/Holy Spirit is the head of the one undivided church. Safe to say, and I am glad that you have searched the truth far enough to see the discrepencies in the Catholic religion.

Question: Do you think pro sports players deserve the ammount of money they earn per year? I find it so ridiculous that there are perfectly fine people in our country and in other countires that can't even find enough money for a car or a house when there are pro sports players that are already multi-millionaires living in huge houses that get paid over 50 million dollars to go play basketball for less than a year. Its terrible!

Question: If a person files a lawsuit as "in pro per" when they go to court can a lawyer then be present? My friend filed court papers to change child custody. He filed "in pro per". Now he's going to court and wants to take a lawyer with him. Is that legal? Or since he filed in pro per he has to continue to represent himself?

Answer: THe lawyer would have to file a notice of appearance on his/her behalf and they would be counsel of record for atleast that appearance, although he/she could go back as "in Pro Per" following that hearing. Does that make sense?

Question: I am facing a contested conservatorship, and I am pursing it pro per in California. There is a witness whom I? Please . . . only serious responses! I am facing a contested conservatorship, and I am pursing it pro per in California. There is a witness whom I wish to have her submit a statement. She is, however, in Massachusetts. Therefore, my question is whether I may have her statement placed on declaration form as an affidavit. I understand the court may request the witness's presence; however, for monetary reasons, I am attempting to find the less expensive manner, at lease, in the interim. Once again, only serious response

Answer: A witness' affidavit, or any other written statement, is not admissible evidence except in extraordinary circumstances. The two most important reasons are that the other side wouldn't get to cross-examine the witnesses, and the judge wouldn't get to see the witness so as to form an opinion about the person's truthfulness. Testimony in person can be admissible, if it is relevant, violates no rules of evidence, and you know how to get testimonial evidence admitted. The job you are undertaking as a pro per litigant is to learn as much law pertaining to your case, including procedural law, as an attorney would need to know before undertaking to represent you. That means spend a few weeks in the county law library. This won't be like small claims, where you tell your side of the story and the judge listens politely no matter how far you stray from admissibility. If you don't learn the law and the procedures, you will lose. I mention this not to insult you or discourage you. Some people succeed as pro per litigants. But it's a lot of work, and the nature of your question triggered an instinct that you don't know the first thing about what you are about to try. I wouldn't want you to go into it expecting a kindly, reasonable judge to hear your story, and rule on the basis of common sense. If that is your expectation, you will get clobbered. Good luck.

Question: How much starting dose a LA Fitness Pro Results trainer make per hour. anyone know and are there any variables? How much starting dose a LA Fitness Pro Results trainer make per hour. anyone know and are there any variables ect. sales

Answer: It varies. When I used to train I would charge some clients 50 for a 1/2hr session while others I would charge 25. I worked off commission so if I made say 1000 in a week, 300 would go to the company I'm working for and 700 to me. You make as much as you can sell, getting people to sign the contract can be difficult sometimes. I never liked using the high pressure sales tactic but it does work.

Question: my salary is £18909 pa. This is pro rata as i only work 39 weeks per year how do i work my actual salary out? if my hourly rate is £9.80 and i times this by 37hrs per wk then times this by 52 it does not add up!

Answer: You're getting your sums mixed up. You're multiplying by 52 when you should be using 37 (the number of weeks you work). Your hourly rate (37hrs over 52 weeks) for £18,909 pa works out at ~ £9.83 and not £9.80. 9.8279 x 37 (hours) = £363.63 pw 363.63 x 39 (weeks) = ~ £14,181.66 363.63 x 52 (weeks) = £18,908.76 - close enough to £18,909 when you factor in the extra decimals I left out... If like me you work in education and you are term time only, your employers may be paying you less than £363.63 each week, but they will pay you monthly, even when you are off for vacation time. So £14,181.66 / 12 = ~ £1181.81 pm, or ~ £295.45 pw

Question: I work 10hrs per week pro rota, how many days holiday am I entitled to? my contract says my holidays are on a pro rota basis, I work 10hrs per week and have not been given any holidays, xmas 2008 my work place closed down for 1 week and I was not paid a single penny for that week.

Answer: The minimum holiday entitlement in the UK is 24 days, to include bank holidays. You would be entitled to 10/37ths of this, but your contract of employment may provide for more holidays. YOu need to sort ths out with your employer.

Question: What does "pro rata" or "per annum" mean re part-time employment? If a job states £15,000 per annum for 20hours per week, what does it mean? Does it mean that by working 20 hours per week i will earn £15,000 over a year? OR Does it mean that that rate for the position is £15,000 per year full-time and the amount that i get depends on how many hours i do? OR Something else? Thanks

Answer: Pro Rata means the pay shown is the amount payable for a 37 hour week so if the position offered was for say 22 hours and the pay was £25,000 pro rata you would divide £25,000 by 37 (hours) to get the hourly rate then times the hourly rate by 22 hours to find the actual amount for the offered position PA means per annum and it is the amount to be paid whatever the hours

Question: How much memory does Premiere Pro CS4 require per minute when capturing film from a camera? I don't know if it varies by camera or camera settings, but what is a typical amount of memory it requires on the disk?

Answer: The capture app doesn't determine the space used - it's down to the video format. MiniDV uses 13 GByte / hour, more for HD and less for highly compressed SD formats. The amount of compression is variable, so there's no definitive answer.

Question: How Much Money Do Pro Soccer Players Make Per Season? I want to know how much money players in the MLS make. And how much money the players in the USL make.

Answer: as of 2008, the league minimum was $33,000 and the average a player made was $129,395. if you were/are under a developmental contract, you would probably make $12,900. of course, these were the 2008 numbers. but it's probably changed. but this gives you a general idea of how much players make. but if you're a "designated player" like david beckham for the la galaxy, freddie ljungberg of the seattle sounders or juan pablo angel of the ny red bulls, you'd make 7 figures.

Question: New Macbook Pro freezes several times per day? I have a new 2.5GHz 15 inch Macbook Pro, less than a week old, and it has recently started freezing, at first one program stops, then soon after all programs stop responding to the mouse, and I am left with a spinning ball which can only be repaired by a hard reboot. Any suggestions on how to fix this, or what may be causing it?

Answer: sounds faulty. Call Applecare right away, or find their AUTHORIZED repair place near you and bring it in. If it's only a week old it will be on warranty for sure. My guess is that you just got a lemon and they'll fix or replace it for free. My dad has had an iMac for 5 years, my fiance for 3, and we've had macbooks for 1 year now. None of us have had ANY significant problems or anything like that. (Aside from the power surge that killed my dads first iMac, but house insurance covered that and data recovery on the first)
