Reaching Out or Overreaching: Judicial Ethics and Self-Represented Litigants
Cynthia Gray
Reaching Out or Overreaching: Judicial Ethics and Self-Represented Litigants
argues that, under the code of judicial conduct, no reasonable question is raised about a judge’s impartiality when the judge, in an exercise of discretion, makes procedural accommodations that will provide a diligent self-represented litigant acting in good faith the opportunity to have his or her case fairly heard -- and, therefore, that a judge should do so. The 96-page publication discusses topics such as demeanor, the appearance of bias, providing clear explanations for litigants, liberal construction of pleadings, explaining the process, instructing self-represented litigants, and asking questions during hearings. Funded by a grant from the State Justice Institute, Reaching Out also includes proposed best practices for cases involving pro se litigants and a self-test, hypotheticals, a talk, small group exercises, a debate, and panel discussion for use by judicial educators a session covering the topic at judicial conferences.
