RECORD FORGE — ORIENTATION BRIEFING — HAINES v. KERNER STANDARD
Step 1 of 3 · The Standard
Drop the anxiety.
Pick up the statute.

Under Haines v. Kerner, 404 U.S. 519 (1972), a pro se pleading is held to a less stringent standard than one drafted by a lawyer. Courts are required to read your filing liberally — to consider its strongest possible interpretation, not to find technical grounds for dismissal.

Translation: You don't have to sound like a lawyer. You have to be accurate, statute-heavy, and honest. Those three things are the entire job.
