1:26-cv-01139 MICHALAPOULOS v. SCHIFF
In the case Michalapoulos v. Schiff, the court granted the plaintiff permission to proceed 'in forma pauperis,' meaning they can continue the lawsuit without paying the usual court fees due to financial hardship. This allows individuals who cannot afford court costs to have their cases heard. It matters because it ensures access to justice regardless of a person's financial situation.
