Pro Se Power Series

By: Joel Stephen Mattson


Represent Yourself Like a Beast — Without Bowing to the System

You don’t need a bar card to beat them.
You need the Constitution, a few solid documents, and the guts to say NO when the system tries to drag you under.

The Pro Se Power Series is your no-BS guide to fighting back without an attorney. You’ll learn how to take over your own case, file powerful motions, assert your rights, and dismantle the legal fiction of jurisdiction — all with constitutional muscle and airtight strategy.

This isn’t theory. It’s what I did personally after being falsely arrested and left to rot in a rigged court system. I studied the law for 16 months, filed my own federal lawsuit, and now I’m giving you everything I learned.


What You’ll Learn in the Pro Se Power Series:

How to File a Federal Lawsuit Under 42 U.S.C. § 1983

  • Hold officers and government actors personally accountable
  • Demand damages for rights violations
  • Navigate federal court without needing a lawyer

How to Use the Fruit of the Poisonous Tree Doctrine

  • Get all evidence thrown out if it came from an unlawful arrest or search
  • Collapse their entire case using one motion
  • Use it in your Summary Judgment to shut the door on their defense

How to Fight Qualified Immunity

  • Show that “any reasonable officer” would know your rights were violated
  • Overcome their shield and put the individual on the hook
  • Use real Supreme Court rulings in your motion

How to Challenge Jurisdiction Like a Sledgehammer

  • Use Article III, Section 2, Clause 1 of the Constitution
  • Invoke lack of consent, standing, and subject matter
  • Remove your case from kangaroo courts and color-of-law traps

How to Draft and File Real Legal Documents

  • Affidavits
  • Complaints
  • Motions to Dismiss
  • Motions for Summary Judgment
  • Public Records Requests
  • All ready to use in the Legal Document Vault

Real Tools. Real Wins. No Legal Degree Needed.

Each article links to templates, legal tools, and court-ready actions. This is more than information — it’s empowerment with bite.


Why You MUST Learn This If You’re Pro Se

Attorneys play the game.
We flip the board.

Most Pro Se defendants lose because they don’t know how the game is rigged — or how to stand on the Constitution instead of code. The Pro Se Power Series shows you:

  • How to stop waiving your rights
  • How to reject jurisdiction you never consented to
  • How to corner them with their own rules
  • How to win with precision, not permission
