"Pro per" vs "pro se"

According to lawyer David Blake Newdorf the terms "Pro per" and "pro se" are both shortened Latin phrases meaning an individual acting as his or her own attorney in a lawsuit. Whatever the difference may have been to Ovid -- I never studied Latin -- there's no difference in court. It is simply a stylistic preference of the judge or lawyer or individual.

Lawyer Okorie Okorocha , suggest a different difference between the tow term . he think the diffrence is Pro Se is usually used in federal court. however Pro Per is usually used in state court.
