Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation explores the question of whether, how, and how much the U.S. Supreme Court's selection of paid petitions differs from its selection of petitions in forma pauperis, or IFP petitions -- those petitions filed by individuals who are financially unable to pay the Court's filing fee. In examining the Court's agenda-setting function, existing studies have identified certain case characteristics, called "cue characteristics," that increase the likelihood that the Supreme Court will select a petition for review. Those studies, however, have generally limited their analysis to paid petitions to the exclusion of those petitions filed by indigent litigants, the IFP petitions; even those studies that have included IFP cases in their analysis have failed to compare the Court's agenda-setting process across the two dockets. Analysis of a sample of paid and unpaid petitions disposed of during the 1976 through 1985 Terms of the Court reveals that IFP petitions are disproportionately criminal and prisoner civil rights cases, are less likely to present most cue characteristics, and are more likely to be filed pro se. Moreover, certain issues--specifically minority rights, family law, and access to welfare benefits issues--are disproportionately represented on the IFP docket. Multivariate analysis of the Court's selection of paid and unpaid petitions indicates that IFP cases are less likely to be accepted for review even when analysis controls for the presence or absence of previously identified cue characteristics. Moreover, the effects of cue characteristics vary between the paid and unpaid dockets, with the case characteristics having stronger effects in the context of the docket on which they are less prevalent. The findings suggest that cue characteristics do provide information to the Court during the agenda-setting process and are not merely correlates of some underlying quality of certworthiness. In addition, they suggest that the cases on the IFP docket are at a disadvantage during the certiorari process, and that disadvantage may have implications for the Court's attention to certain classes of legal issues.

Download or read book Representing Yourself in Federal Court written by United States Disctrict Court and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-08-04 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook is designed to help people dealing with civil lawsuits in federal court without legal representation. Proceeding without a lawyer is called proceeding "pro se1," a Latin phrase meaning "for oneself," or sometimes "in propria persona," meaning "in his or her own person." Representing yourself in a lawsuit can be complicated, time consuming, and costly. Failing to follow court procedures can mean losing your case. For these reasons, you are urged to work with a lawyer if possible. Chapter 2 gives suggestions on finding a lawyer. Do not rely entirely on this Handbook. This Handbook provides a summary of civil lawsuit procedures, but it may not cover all procedures that may apply in your case. It also does not teach you about the laws that will control your case. Make sure you read the applicable federal and local court rules and do your own research at a law library or online to understand your case. The United States District Court for the Northern District of California has Clerk's Offices in the San Francisco, San Jose and Oakland courthouses. Clerk's Office staff can answer general questions, but they cannot give you any legal advice. For example, they cannot help you decide what to do in your lawsuit, tell you what the law means, or even advise you when documents are due. There are Legal Help Centers in the San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose courthouses where you can get free help with your lawsuit from an attorney who can help you prepare documents and give limited legal advice. This attorney will not be your lawyer and you will still be representing yourself. See Chapter 2 for more details.
