Shortly after Seventh Circuit Judge Richard Posner retired from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in September, he launched a pro bono legal services organization dedicated to helping pro se litigants.

It’s now been re-named The Posner Center of Justice for Pro Se’s, and it has a bold vision: to provide pro bono representation, but also to focus on assisting pro se litigants behind the scenes to help them to successfully represent themselves.
