Involuntary Hospitalization Appeal

[Pete Moss]

In the Court of Common Pleas of Pike County, Pennsylvania​

Pete Moss, Plaintiff
v.
Pennsylvania State Police, Respondent​

The law provides for and I need to collect cost of aforesaid hospitalization from police. It should be a slam dunk, as there has never been anything close to an emergency to warrant a committal. It was all a misunderstanding, and these cops just ain't right. Thank you very much.

Thank you for sharing your story. Do you have a question?

Rights to access to the courts

Re: 1999 Involuntary [non-] Emergency Hospitalization Administrative Appeal​

Question Involved:

Where are case reviews at ... ?

Here in Pike County, PA there is no case review law library, OR IS THERE? Where can we acquire access to case reviews, regarding PA and/or US appellate court opinions?

Is "access to the courts" - really a right if we must pay $75 / day for online access to LEXIS; can there be such a thing as such online access without expense to pro se, in forma pauperis litigants as courts would say we have it?

Where, indeed, are there such Federal Rights/case reviews [e.g. controlling, on-point, appellate opinions] for pro se, criminal-case appellants?

In criminal cases, the courts will appoint a legal assistent to defendants who insist on proceeding without counsel, who will presumably be able to access said resources. That is because criminal defendants have the RIGHT to legal aid.

There is no such right in civil court. Indeed, you are the plaintiff. A lawyer would cost you a lot more then $75 per day for one thing; court cases cost money to bring and see through; if you want to win your case you will spend the needed money. You can include this in your "legal expenses" which you can request reimbursement for from the courts, should you be successful.

There may be a law library connected to a local college or university, but you will still need to pay for access to the database if you want to be able to search for pertinent cases to look up. But at least you won't have to pay more to receive the full version of the cases.

I hear ya. The Sargent at the county jail receives new LEXIS discs every 6 months, and the LEXIS contract provides he either destroys or returns the old discs. I want to buy them from him. They are unsurpassed in expertise.
