Many people seeking self-governance and lawful remedy mistakenly rely on terms like sui juris or in propria persona, thinking they offer independence from the court system. In truth, these terms act as jurisdictional traps, keeping individuals bound to public courts under the illusion of sovereignty. This breakdown exposes how such language reinforces consent to statutory control, treating you as a ward or pro se litigant. Real remedy begins when you shift into private capacity, operating as authorized representative, executor, or secured party / creditor. Proper status, not public buzzwords, is what removes presumptions and reclaims lawful standing.
