Self-Represented Parties - The Numbers

The Court continues to have the largest pro se population of any bankruptcy court in the country – 18,655 debtors, along with numerous creditors who cannot be counted as easily. In 2013, bankruptcy filings declined dramatically. The Court’s pro se rate also declined slightly from 27.2 percent to 24.7 percent.
