Reaching Out or Overreaching: Judicial Ethics and Self-Represented Litigants
Cynthia Gray
Reaching Out or Overreaching: Judicial Ethics and Self-Represented Litigants
argues that, under the code of judicial conduct, no reasonable question is raised about a judge’s impartiality when the judge, in an exercise of discretion, makes procedural accommodations that will provide a diligent self-represented litigant acting in good faith the opportunity to have his or her case fairly heard -- and, therefore, that a judge should do so. The 96-page publication discusses topics such as demeanor, the appearance of bias, providing clear explanations for litigants, liberal construction of pleadings, explaining the process, instructing self-represented litigants, and asking questions during hearings. Funded by a grant from the State Justice Institute, Reaching Out also includes proposed best practices for cases involving pro se litigants and a self-test, hypotheticals, a talk, small group exercises, a debate, and panel discussion for use by judicial educators a session covering the topic at judicial conferences.

Issue

from the U.S. Supreme Court decision Republican Party of Minnesota v.
White, 536 U.S. 736 (2002) holding that judicial candidates may not be
prohibited from announcing their views on disputed legal and political
subjects.
