Judges and lawyers hate it when defendants choose to represent themselves because they know the trial will take longer as a direct consequence of the fact that the self-represented defendant doesn't have a clue what they're doing. Judges and lawyers don't enjoy wasting their time.

Has Anyone Ever Won a Court Case Representing Themselves? Litigants have won court cases when they represent themselves.
“Pro se” is Latin for “in one's own behalf.” The right to appear pro se in a civil case in federal court is defined by statute 28 U.S.C. § 1654. Thus, with some limitations, anyone can appear pro se, and anyone who appears before the Court without an attorney is considered pro se.

State as briefly as possible the facts showing that each plaintiff is entitled to the injunction or other relief sought. State how each defendant was involved and what each defendant did that caused the plaintiff harm or violated the plaintiff's rights, including the dates and places of that involvement or conduct.
