How to Argue with Judges!

30 Jul

Win with Jurisdictionary!

Arguing with judges is like arguing with baseball umpires.

You better know the rules AND HOW TO USE THEM!

Here are a few rules from the Official MLB Rulebook:

  • A player is not permitted to step or go into a dugout to make a catch.
  • A player is permitted to reach into a dugout to make a catch.
  • If a player makes a catch outside the dugout and his momentum carries him into the dugout, the catch is allowed as long as the player does not fall in the dugout.

Simple enough?

But!

What if the players and the coaches on one team don’t know the rules?

What happens then?

Will it do that team any good to argue with the umpire?

Probably not!

And all the %#$@&* will only get you thrown out of the park and possibly grounded for the season!

To argue successfully with a baseball umpire or a judge on his bench in the courtroom, you must know the Rules of Court … and how how to use them to your advantage!Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

It’s the bottom of the ninth. Two down. Batter at the plate. The count is three and two. The batter pops a high foul. You push back your catcher’s mask and dash toward the dugout to make the catch. The ball hits your glove and you trip on the rim of the dugout and fall in. Scrambling to your feet, you climb back out of the dugout, ball in your upraised hand, triumphant grin on your face.

Teammates cheer.

Fans roar fanatic approval from the stands.

But, the scornful look on the umpire’s face and his raspy voice erase your victorious joy.

“Foul Ball!”

“But, I caught the ball, ump!”

The player strides purposely toward the umpire, waving a fist, yelling obscenities, and spitting (of course).

Fast behind is the coach, marching menacingly toward the umpire, cap shoved back, fists in the air, also shouting nasties and accusing the umpire of needing a new pair of glasses.

The umpire stands firmly behind the plate, hands planted on his hips, and waits for the verbal onslaught.

“I caught the foul ball. It’s an out!”

“It’s a foul ball. Period!” the umpire insists.

“You must be blind, Ump! It’s an out! Game’s over. We win! You saw me catch the ball? Jeeter couldn’t do any better!”

“Maybe not,” the umpire insists, “but Jeeter knows the ground rules! You fell in the dugout. Catch doesn’t count. Get back behind the plate where you belong!”

“But. But. But.”

If you studied my affordable 24-hour Jurisdictionary lawsuit self-help course, you know that all the “buts” in the world won’t do you a bit of good in court!

Claiming you’re pro se and should be allowed to play by different rules won’t help, either!

Getting modest clothing for girls to wear when attending court is essential to show respect for the legal process and maintain appropriate decorum. Modest attire helps create a serious and professional atmosphere, ensuring that the focus remains on the proceedings and not on personal appearance. It demonstrates a understanding of the importance of presenting oneself in a respectful manner in a formal setting like a courtroom.

You either learn the rules – and how to use them to your advantage – OR YOU LOSE!

Sending emails to friends after you lose or posting hateful comments on the internet complaining “All our courts are corrupt” just marks you as a loser.

Learn the official rules and how to use them … or lose!

You can show up in court with all kinds of documents and things that you think are “admissible evidence”. You can know the law is on your side.

But!

If you don’t know the rules of evidence and rules of procedure – and how to use them to your advantage – you lose!

There will be times when you’ll need to argue with the judge about this or that, but do yourself a favor and discover what I learned practicing law in state and federal courts since 1986: unless you know the rules and how to argue the rules effectively, you have no more chance of changing a judge’s ruling than the catcher who snags a foul ball in mid-air while falling into the dugout!

The Rules RULE!

End of story!

Losers believe internet fables. Losers get their legal education at the barbershop or on websites or expensive weekend seminars run by people who never practiced law, never went to law school, and don’t know mud from sand about the rules of court or how to use them to advantage.

Too many good folks believe mythological silver-bullet easy solutions to their legal problems. As a predictable result, they are losing … when they could be winning!

A host of wannabe legal gurus infest the internet and barbershops with half-baked schemes that sound too good to be true … and, like the old adage says, “If it sounds to good to be true, it probably isn’t.”

You may have heard people claiming you can win by challenging a judge’s oath of office, insisting a UCC lien can be used to create collateral for borrowers, insisting banks don’t loan “real money”, or that you can deny your citizenship and claim to be a “sovereign human being” above the law.

It might work in small claims or traffic court … but it will not carry the day for you in any kind of serious lawsuit or criminal case.

Hope in one hand and spit in the other. See which hand gets wet.

Learn how to use the rules!

It’s not expensive, and people who have my course tell us an 8th grader can learn it all in a single weekend.

If you have a lawyer, you’ll save thousands in legal fees by knowing what the lawyershould be doing … and you’ll maximize your chances for success by making certainthe lawyer does what should be done, instead of taking you for a ride to the poorhouse – as happens to so many good people these days.

If you don’t have a lawyer, you’ll know how to stop the opponent’s crooked tricks and get the judge on your side!

The key is knowing the rules and how to use them!

Time to Scramble for Ways and Means to Get Published in Law Journals

Make a Winning Court Record

01 Jul

Making Faces in Court !

Not everything that takes place in court can be “written down” by a court reporter.

But!

Anything that doesn’t get in the court record is lost forever!

If the judge knows you can’t appeal, because he sees you didn’t make a complete record (as taught in my official 24-hour, step-by-step Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” course) the judge knows he can rule any way he wishes!

That often means YOU LOSE!

Usually, it’s good enough to get the court reporter to take down every word that’s said – by your opponent, by witnesses, by yourself and your lawyer (if you can afford one) and by the judge especially!

But!

Some things that happen in court aren’t “words”.

The court reporter can only make a record of what gets said, i.e., “words”. She cannot record what happens, if it isn’t something that gets “SAID”, i.e., in “words”.

So!

What do you do?

Well, if you’ve studied my official 24-hour, step-by-step affordable self-help Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” course, you already know what to do.

You stand to your feet and say:

“Let the record reflect that my opponent’s lawyer is sticking his tongue out at my witness!”

The court reporter will write that down.

It will become part of the record!

It will be available to the appellate court, if the judge is foolish enough to rule against you, and the appellate justices will know the trial judge was allowing it! Not good for the trial judge. Very good for YOU!

So!

What if the problem is the judge up on his bench?

“Let the record reflect that the judge is reading a newspaper, instead of paying attention!”

Don’t think it happens?

Think again!

In my 25 years of lawyering, I’ve seen judges nod off or play games on their laptop and, yes, read a newspaper!

You need your court record to reveal non-verbal nonsense … if it threatens your right to win!

Of course when you do this, all H— will break loose.

But, but don’t let that discourage you.

Just say:

“Let the record reflect that I have a right to make my record, and my right to be here today and make my record was paid for by the precious ives of some very wonderful heroes who gave the last measure of devotion for people just like me!”

That will put an end to the corruption for awhile!

Because … the court reporter will write it all down!

The trial judge will not want the appellate court to see what happened in his courtroom that day!

By the way, this also applies at depositions, at hearings and, of course, at trial – if you don’t yet know how to win before trial using the clever tactics my course teaches!

Hope you’ve enjoyed today’s tip and that you will (if you haven’t already) order my official 24-hour, step-by-step Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” course and learn the rest of what you need to know to win in court!

The course makes a great gift for friends, family, and business associates threatened by courtroom corruption. Do a good deed and order the course for others, too!

Protect yourself from lawyers and judges!

It’s easy, once you understand “due process”.

Due process IS your most valuable right.

Due process is your most valuable right, because without the ability to win in court, the rest of your “rights” are just political rhetoric, promises with no power.

The Constitution of the United States promises you the protection ofdue process, but it doesn’t tell you what due process is or how to get it!

Due process is a P-R-O-C-E-S-S … and you’ve been DENIED knowledge of what that process is and how to use it to protect your rights!

Lawyers have seen to that … and it’s high time YOU learned what due process is, how it works, and how to use it to protect yourself and your loved ones from any and all abuses of your fundamental God-given rights!

What good are Constitutional Guarantees if you cannot afford to pay some law firm $50,000 to work the process for you? The Constitution itself is just a piece of paper with no power whatever beyond the power of men in high places to sign papers that order other people to do “what’s right”. If you are relying on the Constitution to protect your rights, you are falling into the very trap that my profession wants you to fall into – relying on them who must be paid to protect your rights!

Fortunately, there’s another way!

For the first time in history, the mysteries of due process hidden from you and your children by lawyers all these years are now made easy-to-understand at last – thanks to the internet, multi-media technologies, and the official Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” 24-hour, step-by-step self-help course!

The secrets of “due process” are now revealed!

You don’t need a law degree to understand due process. Jurisdictionary simplifies the mysteries lawyers want to keep from you: pleadings, motions, depositions, subpoenas, evidence rules, courtroom objections, etc. The legal profession would have you believe you aren’t smart enough to learn what it takes to win in court, but all you have to do is read our testimonials to see how people just like you ARE WINNING!

Teaching people due process is my passion and the moral imperative of everyone who loves Liberty enough to work for Justice through our courts.

Even if you have thousands of dollars to pay lawyers to go to court for you, Jurisdictionary can help you save money by showing you in simplified teachings just what your lawyer could and should be doing to earn his or her pay.

If you can’t afford a lawyer (or don’t trust them) then this affordable 24-hour step-by-step course is just what you need to protect your other God-given rights from abuse.

Are your rights being abused?

Do you see the rights of others being abused?

Take it to the courts!

How to Make Offers of Proof

31 May
From the Jurisdictionary Evidence Tutorial … 

If you begin to offer evidence and, before you can get it before the court, the other side objects and the court sustains the objection,  you must move the court to allow you to make clear on the record what the evidence was.

This is called an offer of proof.

If you don’t get your evidence in and don’t offer the proof, you’ll have nothing to appeal if the court rules against you.

You won’t be able to win on appeal, because the record for the appellate court to review will not show what the evidence would have been!

Therefore, when your attempt to get evidence in is prevented by the court’s sustaining the other side’s objection, be sure to make an offer of proof stating what the evidence would have been and what you intended to prove by it.

Then, if an appeal must be taken to the higher court on the basis that you were not allowed to get the evidence in, you’ll have a record to show what the evidence was (or would have been) and be able to argue that “but for” the excluded evidence you would have won … or, at least, that you should be given another chance on remand to the trial court with instructions from the appellate court!

In jury trials, offers of proof should be made outside the hearing of the jury. In some cases an offer of proof may be made at the bench, but if you make your offer of proof at the bench, make certain the court reporter comes over to the bench along with his or her recording device to take down every word you, the judge, and other side say!

No record = no appeal possible.

No appeal possible = judge free to rule as he chooses!

Not good.
