I survived my first appearance before a judge! |
|
Had to represent a client in opposing a pro se petition for special relief in a PFA case today. The judge granted a rescheduled hearing, which wasn't what we wanted, but was what we expected. I was very nervous at the start of the hearing, but got into it later and rather enjoyed myself. I think I just might be able to do this!! A bonus was that the guy got arrested after the hearing - I felt a savage satisfaction from witnessing that.

1. What is "a pro se petition for special relief in a PFA case?" |
|
I would like to consider myself civically literate, but I'm not a lawyer.:)

2. "Pro se" means that you represent yourself without an attorney |
|
"Petition for special relief" can mean several things; asking the court to change a custody order, PFA (Protection From Abuse) order, etc. Sorry for the legalese!
