The purpose of this thread is to get comments on what the general world public thinks about civil lawsuits to individuals or establisments by Pro per litigants. If you have any experiences or doubts.
Also criminally a Private citizen can request a Grand Jury Hearing for a Federal offense and the Grand Jury can order an investigation and arrests.

I have noticed that many people associate Lawsuits with lost of money and mental anguish well that is not always the case. Of course defendants must pay their attorney fees. And must be represented if it is a Corporation.
A Pro per or a lawyer can sue anyone for no money in what it is called "Declaratory Relief" or "Injuntive Relief". You need to be involved or affected somehow. The Judge will order the Defendant to perform personally or collectively or to declare in Court certain duties that must be met.
The US supreme Court and other Courts have established that one of the most important rights on the Constitucion is the right to bring a Lawsuit by a Pro se litigant. An a Jury trial to be the most important right.
Juries also are more sympathetic to Pro se litigants too. Pro se litigants also enrich the Law by bringing controversial issues which lawyers will be reluctant to do.
