Question Presented (AI Summary)

Whether pro se litigants are entitled to full legal participation and representation in federal court proceedings despite limited legal knowledge

Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTION(S) PRESENTED Are Pro Se litigants entitled to participate fully in the legal process? How are pro se litigants expected to know case law to identify precedent? As stated to the court of appeals, | have no idea if | am presenting anything pertinent to this case. If the federal government is funding teams of thousands of attorneys to defend some of their employees, why not all federal employees? Is it appropriate to provide legal representation for an agency or individual acting in violation of laws or regulations? Would it not be the party seeking to uphold the integrity of the law whom should be represented by the federally funded agencies? ‘ Is witness testimony sufficient to bar summary judgment before trial? Can documents excluded from discovery by a party later be used freely in court by that party?
