No appointed counsel for Pro Se bankruptcy filer
ø
From the Wisconsin Law Journal:
Pro se bankruptcy filers may be a drain on court resources, but judges won’t be trying to mitigate the problem by appointing attorneys to represent them.
A June 24 opinion by U.S. Bankruptcy Chief Judge Margaret Dee McGarity denied a debtor’s request for appointment of counsel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1915 (e)(1).
While some of the court’s reasoning is limited to the particular debtor, most of it would apply to all pro se debtors.
