Question Presented (AI Summary)

Is the right to due process being violated for pro se litigants?

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED May it please this Honorable Court to consider the establishment of a new guideline . aimed at preventing the dismissal of pro se civil parties with meritorious cases and solely not be dismissed because of the pro se’s lack of legal acumen? Is the right to due process being violated for pro se litigants because of the procedural rules set by a lower court. Is the pursuit of justice compromised in the United States due to the inherent disadvantage faced by pro se litigants, who lack legal training and financial means for legal representation, and are expected to navigate the complexities of filing a case and perform at the same level as trained attorneys? As a result, are their cases | frequently dismissed, despite overwhelming merits and evidence in their favor, | thereby denying them their fundamental right to due process? Such a situation contradicts the principles of justice upheld by our esteemed country.
