Committees - Pro Se [Self-Represented] Appellate Handbook

The Self Represented Litigant committee is responsible for The Pro Se Appellate Handbook: Representing Yourself on Appeal. The Handbook is prepared by individual members of The Florida Bar Appellate Practice Section, as a public service. It is a very basic guide to assist someone unable or unwilling to hire an attorney to advance or defend an appellate matter. Committee members assist in writing, editing, and updating chapters for the Handbook. The Handbook is available online in English, Spanish, French-Creole, and ADA Compliant versions. Copies of the Handbook can be found in the libraries of prisons, circuit courts, legal aid offices, and law schools.

The Handbook is a work in progress and is not all inclusive. Click HERE for the most recent version. The Pro Se (also called a "Self Represented" Litigant) Handbook is not a comprehensive appellate guide and does not answer all questions or guarantee success. It is also not intended to advise individuals in the unlicensed practice of law or to be used to provide legal advice to other people.
