The hope is that the Guide will provide pro se litigants with answers to what practitioners treat as commonplace every day information when litigating in federal court.  This Guide would be free to pro se litigants, and would be a companion to a live (videotaped) presentation.  The Chapter is looking for volunteers who will assist in preparing and otherwise keeping the Guide up-to-date.  If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Brian L.
