For example, the United States Supreme Court has an "in forma pauperis" procedure, where you don't have to pay normal filing fees and the clerks will be very lenient in whether a petition is in proper form etc. This provides access to people with worthy cases and no representation. (If the case might be accepted, the court makes sure to appoint representation, of course.) But some people will abuse this, and after there have been too many groundless petitions, the court will order that no further petitions are to be accepted from that party (in civil cases) without being in correct form with the filing fee paid. This basically puts a stop to it, because people repeatedly filing groundless petitions generally don't care to pay $300 for each one, together with the expense of duplicating forty bound copies of the petition in the exacting format required.
