Question: I want to file a law suit representing myself. Is this "In Pro Per" or "En Pro Per" ?

Answer:

The proper legal phrase is "in pro per", however there are other states that use the term pro se for the same phrase.

The term is derived from latin meaning "for one's self" and is used for people who represent their own cases.
