I am the The family member That is practicing law however it is my 1st year in private studies. I don't want to hire a lawyer. Client wants me to persue this myself. What should a person do that is still learning law but would like to file forms, motions, and grievances with both states?
I suggest you abandon and disabuse yourself of any intention to practice law without a law degree and appropriate bar admission.
I also suggest that you reconsider "practicing law" based on one year, or even 100 years of private study of the law.
As far as I recollect, what you call "private study of the law" is more appropriately referred to as "reading the law".
Wyoming or California were the last two states that allowed one to become a lawyer via that route.
A very good friend of mine did so during the '80s in Wyoming.
Back to your concerns about your "client".
An appeal is one approach left, assuming its not too late to do so.
Otherwise, I suggest you research the GREAT WRIT, -AKA- a habeas corpus petition.
There are two avenues that can be pursued, state court and federal court.
I've practiced law for decades, and I do mean decades.
I've filed 10 habeas petitions via state courts, 12 via the federal courts.
Out of those 22 times at bat, I struck out 21 times.
I hit one home run, meaning I batted a measly .045, or was successful 4.5%.
That's about the success rate for habeas petitions, 5%.
Good luck.
