... Blawgs Bring Back Power to the People ...

The aim of this blawg (aka "blog") is to provide lay-people (that's right... ordinary folk like you and me) with information that relates to general legal principles.

In fact, In Pro Per intends (among other things) to direct the reader to blawgs maintained by licensed professionals that show or manifest a similar interest, spirit, or guiding principle that may relate to your case or plight or situation or drama (hereinafter "COPSOD"). What In Pro Per does not intend to do is as follows: 1) Hurt people's feelings; 2) Mislead the public; 3) Malign the legal industry or its participants.

Does this give our identity away? If it doesn't, here's a clue: We are not lawyers. We do not provide legal advice. We're here (hopefully) to bring you a better understanding of the law through an exposition of general legal principles.

That being said... If you have specific questions concerning your personal rights, obligations, or remedies under the law... call a lawyer. In fact, call as many lawyers as humanly possible. Ask these potential lawyers intelligent, well-thought-out questions (we will post many sample questions at a later time for your perusal and edification) as they relate to your COPSOD. Hopefully, by posing myriad queries to counsel, you may be better able to discern between whether counsel will be working your file, or counsel's paralegal - and thus, adjust the bill accordingly.

As a corollary to the aforementioned, please take solace in knowing that if In Pro Per were to address your specific legal situation, someone in the profession may be ethically and legally required to take In Pro Per to task simply for the pleasure of discussing the alleged civil/criminal wrong openly in their preferred forum of choice.... (i.e. a courtroom). Rest assured... we're not of that mind.

Until then... take care for now (TCFN).... and remember:
