ProSeAcademy.net

Hi, I'm Mathew Layfield, founder of Pro Se Academy.

I built this because nothing like it existed when I needed it.

I'm preparing to file a federal civil rights case pro se. To do it right, I needed to learn federal litigation cold — § 1983 doctrine, qualified immunity, Federal Rules of Evidence, cross-examination strategy. I searched everywhere. Coursera, Udemy, YouTube, law school guides, legal aid clinics, attorneys. Nothing fit. Most YouTube content was sovereign citizen nonsense that gets people sanctioned. So I taught myself. 750 hours. 26 authenticated exhibits. And I built this community along the way.

What you'll find here: real federal court strategy across three tracks (Federal, State Civil, State Criminal), five certification levels, and case-specific AI analysis for Premium members who upload their actual case documents.

Built by a pro se litigant. For every pro se litigant.
