A quick definition of pauper's affidavit:

A pauper's affidavit is a written statement of facts that a person swears to in front of someone who can administer oaths, like a notary public. It is often used in legal cases, especially before a trial. A poverty affidavit is a type of pauper's affidavit that is made by someone who cannot afford to pay for court fees or other legal services. It is used to request free public assistance or the appointment of a lawyer.

A more thorough explanation:

A pauper's affidavit is a declaration of facts written down and sworn to by a person who is unable to pay court fees or other expenses related to a legal matter. It is also known as a poverty affidavit or in forma pauperis affidavit.

For example, if someone cannot afford to pay the fees associated with filing a lawsuit, they may submit a pauper's affidavit to request that the court waive those fees. This allows individuals who cannot afford legal fees to still have access to the justice system.
