Questions and answers

Can I represent myself in court in United States (federal)?

Answered for: US

the parties may plead and conduct their own cases personally

This is the provision United States (federal) uses to say who may and may not practise law there. The words above are the statute as read at the official source on 2026-08-19.

This answer is true in US and nowhere else on this site. Another jurisdiction is another answer, or an honest gap: see what has been read for US.
