Representing Yourself in an Appeal

This page contains resources for individuals representing themselves in Indiana’s appellate courts. Self-represented litigants are generally held to the same standards as attorneys. Because appellate cases are complex, it's strongly recommended that you seek help from an attorney rather than trying to represent yourself. The resources provided on this website are basic and offered as a courtesy. They are not comprehensive and should not be considered legal advice.

If you have questions after reviewing the Appellate Rules and these materials, you may contact the Clerk’s Office or find resources from the Supreme Court Law Library. Please keep in mind, however, that court staff are not permitted to provide legal advice.
