Representing yourself is also known as pro se. This is the definition from Nolo's Plain-English Law Dictionary:
Pro Se (proh say): A Latin phrase meaning "for oneself" or "on one's own behalf." This phrase describes a party to a lawsuit who represents himself or herself, without a lawyer. It is used in some states in place of in pro per (or in propria persona) and has the same meaning.
