In a civil case can the trial proceed if the plaintiff or defendant is in jail?
Yes, but HIGHLY unlikely. In a civil case the state is under no obligation to spend the taxpayers money to transport and guard the incarcerated individual involved in a civil trial.
What does a defendant in a civil case have to file in-order to releive ones self of council and proceed pro per?
The question is not worded clearly. If the questioner already HAS counsel and wishes to discharge/fire them, all he has to do is either do it in open court while on the record, or file a motion with the court notifying the judge that they are proceeding pro se. If, right from the outset, they are not engaging counsel, that fact will be included in the information with the court filings for the case. The judge will probably strongly counsel you to retain counsel, but you DO have the right to represent yourself if you wish. Please remember the old lawyer adage: "The man who represents himself, has a fool for a client."

Can a court case be dismissed if the plaintiff does not show but his attorney does?
Not in a criminal case. In such cases the prosecuting attorney represents all of the people of the state and/or country and therefore represents the orignal plaintiff/victim. A civil trial is basically the same, if the plaintiff has legal representation. For example, a credit card company sues for debt owed. It is understood that the CC's legal counsel if the plaintiff by proxy and has the right to "prosecute" the case. If the civil suit has been brought by an individual plaintiff representing themselves, he or she must be present at the time of the trial or the case will be dismissed (generally w/o prejudice). Likewise, if legal counsel does not appear the case will be dismissed.

There is no single answer to your query. It depends on the severity of the fraud and the judgment of the court where the case was adjudicated.
