Poverty should not be a reason for anyone in not going to courts or quasi-judicial bodies. For this reason, the Constitution guarantees everyone the free access to the courts and quasi-judicial bodies.
A pauper litigant is exempt from the payment of filing fees and other court fees. They are also provided with free and adequate legal counsel through the Public Attorney’s Office and IBP legal assistance programs.

This is Horse Shit - BECAUSE- Why does "free" access to the courts depend upon ones financial status? Why does one have to surrender ones privacy - a right - for this other right? I think (THINK) that this has already been addressed by the SCOTUS, yes?
