YOUR LITIGANT TYPE: THE CONQUEROR

You are a knowledgeable and confident legal self-advocate.
You learn from your defeats and return stronger for the next battle. The Conqueror has a strong legal position and can articulate it effectively. You have clear goals for litigation—whether reducing debt as a defendant, staying in your home longer during foreclosure, or seeking compensation as a plaintiff. You craft compelling legal arguments backed by thorough research and argue aggressively in court while respecting the judge’s discretion and the importance of persuasion. When necessary, you argue not just facts and law but persuasive public policy.

You possess high levels of confidence, knowledge, skill, and courtroom experience, with low levels of harmful emotions like anger and fear. Even when facing bias against self-represented litigants, you stay strategic and focused. You know that many judges view pro se litigants with suspicion or impatience and that no amount of preparation can eliminate all forms of bias. When you’re this good, you’re sometimes accused of getting help from attorneys or worse, practicing law without a license.

You know that in litigation, even the strongest cases don’t guarantee victory. Procedural errors, judicial discretion, and systemic bias can derail even a well-prepared argument. You fight with both heart and intellect, knowing that your power lies not only in winning battles but in surviving them, learning from them, and coming back smarter and stronger each time. Thank you for blazing a path that others can follow.
