A pro se clerk is a clerk of the court, employed by the court and found in the courthouse. This clerk assists people appearing pro se (without lawyers) to participate in legal actions by providing forms which need to be filled out and explaining some basic rules. Pro se clerks are not always lawyers themselves, and so are usually prohibited from providing legal or strategic advice.
Famous quotes containing the words pro and/or clerk:
“It is sweet and honourable to die for one’s country.
[Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.]”
—Horace [Quintus Horatius Flaccus] (65–8 B.C.)
“Your faith an’ trouth yese never get
Nor our trew Love shall never twain
Till ye come within my bower
And kiss me both cheek and chin.
My mouth it is full cold, Margret,
It has the smell now of the ground;
An’ if I kiss thy com’ly mouth
Thy life days will not be long.”
—Unknown. Clerk Saunders (l. 109–116)
