In Season 10, Episode 4 of "Notes to My (Legal) Self," Sonja Ebron discusses her journey from engineering professor to CEO of Courtroom5, a platform supporting pro se litigants. She emphasizes the barriers self-represented individuals face in a legal system often biased against them, where corporate or government attorneys dominate. Ebron highlights the need for strategic understanding in litigation, asserting that her platform empowers users by breaking down cases into manageable steps, thus challenging the notion that justice is an exclusive privilege.
Access to justice shouldn't be a privilege reserved for those with deep pockets or legal expertise. Yet, our courts often feel like an impenetrable fortress to the everyday person.
Lawyers are trained in power. Their job is to wield it for their clients, but for pro se litigants, that power imbalance can feel overwhelming.
One of Sonja's key insights is that litigation is as much about strategy as it is about substance. For many pro se litigants, just understanding what they're up against is half the battle.
Courtroom5 helps users break down their cases into manageable pieces, ensuring they can effectively navigate the legal system without representation.
