A: The same information would be available provided the pro se party knows the proper steps to obtain the information.

The court will hold a pro se party to the same standard as a licensed attorney so the pro se party would need to ensure that they have the same knowledge of case law, statutes, legal procedure, rules of evidence, local court rules, and skills of an attorney.

A: I agree with Pete. The Pro Se party needs to follow the rules of requesting discovery through request for admissions, interrogatories, and request for documents. The other side is then required to turn documents over.
