Instead of hiring a lawyer, the defendant will "pro se" to plead her own case in court.

To arrive at this answer, you can start by understanding the given sentence. The sentence implies that the defendant will be representing herself in court instead of hiring a lawyer.

The term "pro se" refers to a person who represents themselves in a legal proceeding, usually in a court of law. It comes from Latin and translates to "for oneself" or "on one's own behalf".

Therefore, the answer to the blank is "pro se".
