What does the Pro Se Office do?
The Pro Se Office is a department within the Clerk’s Office and has two primary functions: • to accept papers submitted by pro se litigants beginning with the filing of a pleading to start an action and ending with the filing of a notice of appeal; • to provide procedural assistance to pro se litigants appearing in the Southern District of New York. All papers submitted by pro se litigants must be submitted to the Pro Se Office. All questions from pro se litigants regarding the Court’s procedures must be directed to the Pro Se Office.
