Pro Se vs. Sui Juris

⚖️ What Does “Pro Se” Mean?

“Pro Se” is Latin for “for oneself.” It means the court recognizes you as someone representing yourself *within their system* — playing by their rules, often without knowing you have the power to object, assert, or refuse jurisdiction.

• 🧾 You file motions using legalese
• 🧠 You follow courtroom customs
• 📜 You accept the judge's authority over you — knowingly or not

🛡 What Does “Sui Juris” Mean?

“Sui Juris” means “of one's own right.” You do not ask for permission to speak. You assert that you are a sovereign being — not a subject, not a corporate fiction, not a ward of the court.

• 🗣 You speak as a living man or woman, not as a legal entity
• 📛 You don’t identify as “the defendant” or “Mr./Ms. [NAME IN CAPS]”
• 📜 You reserve all rights — including the right to challenge jurisdiction

💥 Why It Matters

The label the court uses to identify you **determines how you’ll be treated**.

• “Pro Se” = You're expected to obey their rules, even if you're ignorant of them
• “Sui Juris” = You assert natural rights, protect yourself from being railroaded, and challenge unlawful authority

🔥 How to Stand Sui Juris

• ✍ Sign all filings “Without Prejudice, UCC 1-308”
• 🛑 Challenge jurisdiction *before* entering a plea
• 🧠 Know your rights — and assert them clearly
• 🔍 Ask Sage for motion templates and court case references

Standing Sui Juris doesn’t mean you’re above the law — it means you won’t let **color of law** override **natural law**.

This is your line in the sand.
