SUSAN Y. SOONG GENERALCOURT NUMBER

CLERK OF COURT 408-535-5363

To: Pro Se Litigant

Re: Representing Yourself Before This Court

Dear Pro Se Litigant:

If you are representing yourself in federal court without representation by an attorney, 

that is called proceeding “pro se.” The court has free resources to help you find your way 

through the court system and procedures. The Federal Pro Se Program at the San Jose 

Courthouse provides free information and limited-scope legal advice to pro se litigants in 

federal civil cases. The Federal Pro Se Program is available by appointment and on a drop-in 

basis. The Federal Pro Se Program is available at Room 2070 in the San Jose United States 

Courthouse (Monday to Thursday 1:00 – 4:00 pm, on Friday by appointment only), and The

Law Foundation of Silicon Valley, 152 N. 3rd Street, 3rd Floor, San Jose, CA (Monday to 

Thursday 9:00 am –12:00 pm, on Friday by appointment only), or by calling (408) 297-1480.

There are also online resources available on the court’s webpage. The Pro Se

Handbook, found at http://www.cand.uscourts.gov/prosehandbook, has a downloadable version 

of the court’s own publication: Representing Yourself in Federal Court: A Handbook for Pro 

Se Litigants. Pay special attention to the Civil Litigation Packets tab on the left, which 

provides useful fillable forms. The Pro Se Handbook website also has a link to the Court’s

Electronic Case Filing (ECF) website.
