MUJI 2d CV99
Introducing a self-represented litigant to the jury.
In this case, [name of plaintiff] [name of defendant] is representing [himself] [herself]. The fact that one party is represented by counsel and another party is not should not play any part in your deliberations. Parties have a right to represent themselves, and you must apply the law without regard to the litigant's status as a self-represented party. You should neither favor nor penalize a litigant because that litigant is self-represented.
