Why Pro Se Litigants Have a Hard Time.
Many pro se people are winning.
Unfortunately, a great number who should be winning are losing … needlessly!
Going to court without a lawyer is a growing phenomenon. Whether it’s the high cost of legal fees or growing distrust of lawyers in general, the trend is for more people to fightwithout lawyers
The American Bar Association reports nearly 1/2 of all pro se folks believe lawyers care more about their own self-interest than their client’s rights.
If you go by calls and emails Jurisdictionary receives, there’s good reason for this! Lawyers who bail at the last minute. Lawyers who don’t know what they’re doing. And, worst of all, lawyers wishing to curry favor with judges, afraid to stand up to the buffalo in the black robe and demand their clients’ rights by making timely objections and threatening appeal.
60% of pro se people say they can’t afford a lawyer.
20% say they simply don’t want to spend the money.
Nearly ½ of all court proceedings in the U.S. involve at least one pro se party … and too many of them are losing all because they don’t yet know the “rules of the game” or how to play to win!
Good people who should be winning are losing needlessly simply because they were never taught what it takes to win!
Ever ask yourself, “Why?”
Ever wonder if there might be a sinister reason nothing about law is taught to our children in schools supported by our tax dollars?
Who benefits from your legal ignorance?
You have a Constitutional right to justice.
You have a Constitutional right to go to court and win pro se!
Your rights were paid for by the blood of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for you!
BUT, THE KEYS TO JUSTICE HAVE BEEN HIDDEN FROM YOU – UNTIL NOW!
Pro se people too often do not get justice.
Why?
We at Jurisdictionary receive emails every day complaining there’s a judicial “conspiracy” against pro se litigants.
Let’s examine facts:
- Most pro se people know nothing about the official Rules of Evidence that control the judge and all parties and their lawyers.
- Most pro se people know nothing about the official Rules of Procedure that control the judge and all parties and their lawyers.
- Most pro se people have no idea what “due process” really is.
- Most pro se people can’t recognize the opposing lawyer’s dirty tricks.
- Most pro se people assume what “admissible evidence” is and don’t know what stuff isn’t.
- Most pro se people draft their pleadings and motions incorrectly – usually with far too many words!
- Most pro se people don’t know why it’s vital to write proposed orders for the judge to sign.
- Most pro se people don’t know why, when, or how to make effective objections in court.
- Most pro se people don’t understand what facts are critical to winning a case and what facts are of no consequence.
- Most pro se people muddy the legal waters with court-confusing insignificance.
- Most pro se people don’t know how to find and cite controlling appellate opinions in support of their motions.
- Most pro se people don’t arrange in advance of every proceeding to have a court stenographer present, so they can control the judge.
- Most pro se people waste valuable court time with non-essentials, fail to appreciate the needs of others who have other problems to bring before the court and, as a consequence, tend to make judges dread pro se cases and hate pro se people.
BUT!
Pro se people who know what I explain so simply in my affordable, official, 24-hour step-by-step Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” self-help course winning consistently and getting compliments from judges and even opposing lawyers.
It’s so easy to learn how to do things the right way!
If you and friends were playing a game of basketball, and some bystander wanted to play but didn’t know the rules … how would you feel when he or she kept fouling and arguing he or she has a right to do as he or she pleases because she doesn’t know the rules?
Put yourself in the judges’ robes!
Many years ago, after winning a motion, an older judge asked me to stay behind after the parties left. He took me aside and said simply: “I want you to know that the case before yours today was to protect a little girl who’s grandfather thinks it’s fun to extinguish cigars on her legs.” I knew what he wanted me to know, and I never forgot. Other people’s case are serious, too.
Pro se people who know what I explain in my affordable, official, 24-hour step-by-step Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” self-help course don’t waste the court’s time and get justice by knowing the rules and how to use them tactically to control the judge and opposing counsel.

The Pro Se Problem
Tips & Tactics
 This mid-week Tips & Tactics will give you some insight into problems pro se people are running into and also show that pro se people are winning … more and more!
Going to court without a lawyer is more common than you might imagine. There is a definite trend in the U.S. for more people to fight without lawyers. An American Bar Association study is reported to show nearly 1/2 of all pro se people believe lawyers care more about their own self-interest than their client’s rights. If you go by calls and emails Jurisdictionary receives, there’s good reason for this! Lawyers who bail at the last minute. Lawyers who don’t really know what they’re doing. And, worst of all, lawyers afraid to pull judges’ chains and demand justice, instead of currying favor with the bench. An estimated 60% of pro se people say they can’t afford a lawyer, and 20% of pro se people say they simply don’t want to spend the money. About half of all legal actions in the U.S. involve at least one pro separty. That’s a lot of good folks who need more case-winning lawsuit know-how … since none of us were taught anything at all about justice in public school. It’s a real problem, and it’s growing worse each day! Ever ask yourself, “Why weren’t we taught anything at all about justice in our tax-supported schools?” Who is keeping it all a secret? As I learned in my 25 years of practice as a lawyer, the answer is usually found when you “follow the money”! Who benefits from your legal ignorance? You have a Constitutional right to get justice. You have a Constitutional right to win pro se! BUT! Pro se people often do not get justice. Why? Really! Go with me here, please! We at Jurisdictionary hear from a lot of folks claiming there’s a judicial “conspiracy” against pro se litigants, but let’s examine a few facts:
BUT! Pro se people who know what I explain so simply in the official Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course are winning and even getting compliments from judges and even opposing lawyers … because they do it right!
Consider this: If you and friends were playing a game of basketball, and some bystander came along who wanted to play but didn’t know the rules … how would you feel when he or she kept fouling and then arguing about his or her right to do as he or she pleased? Put yourself in the judges’ robes! Many years ago, after winning a motion, an older judge asked me to stay behind after the parties left. He took me aside and said simply this: “I want you to know that the case just before yours was about a little girl who’s grandfather thought it sport to extinguish cigars on the little girls legs.” I never forgot that moment. He wanted me to know just how serious other people’s cases are and how serious his job was. Not all judges are “against” pro se people “just because they are pro se”. Most of the judges I knew in my 25 years were good people who cared about other people and did their best to guarantee justiceaccording to the rules. Pro se parties who know the rules and how to use them the way my Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course makes so easy-to-understand don’t waste the court’s time and, as a result, get justice more often than not! Remember: It does no good whatsoever to complain. The difference between winners and losers is the fact that winners make an effort to learn the rules and how to use them to win! If you want to make it complicated and muddy the pond with all kinds of nutty arguments, you can do so, make the judge angry, and lose when your “evidence” isn’t admitted because it isn’t “admissible evidence”, etcetera. You can demand your Constitutional Rights, instead of learning about causes of action and their elements that win lawsuits, and you will lose. You can refuse to learn the rules of evidence and the rules of procedure and go to court with silly arguments and lose. But! If you want to win, get my affordable Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course now and master the case-winning strategies and tactics I used for 25 years as a case-winning lawyer in state and federal courts. There is only ONE “Official Jurisdictionary” course! If you’re paying a lawyer, know what your lawyer should be doing to earn his fee and win your case. If you don’t have a lawyer, know what you must do to force the judge do what’s right and prevent the lawyer on the other side from cheating. It’s that simple. My affordable, popular, official Jurisdictionary 24-hour step-by-step lawsuit course will show you how to write powerful pleadings, how to draft and argue motions, how to object in court, how to get admissible evidence into the record, how to prevent the other side from getting lies into the record, how to do legal research, how to compose your legal arguments, and much, much more.
You’ll learn how to avoid filing an answer by moving the court to dismiss or strike the complaint or require a confusing or poorly-worded complaint to be re-written. You’ll learn how to use effective discovery tools to force the other side to produce facts that may lead to admissible evidence. You’ll discover how to move the court and demand that the judge enforce your legal rights. In short, you’ll learn how to save money, maximize your winning power, and resolve conflicts peacefully and profitably … according to the rules! ________________________________________ Once you master the simple concepts I teach, you’ll be more powerful than most lawyers I met in 25 years as a licensed lawyer in state and federal courts as a licensed bar attorney!

Remember: Winners are people who know how the game is played to win — whether plaintiff or defendant. – – – – – – – The essential tools and elements are explained in the video you can watch right now by clicking the judge. Click the Judge to learn more. You won’t believe me, but most lawyers (and nearly all law school professors) don’t have a clue what it takes to win. Many law schools don’t teach “causes of action” or the elements necessary to prevail. It’s true! Many law schools don’t teach how to use your five (5) discovery tools or why you must be courageous and fight the judge and demand your right to get evidence in the record using your discovery tools. Many lawyers are afraid to upset judges, so they let things slide. They don’t object. They don’t “instruct” the judge on the law. They just lay back, take their hourly fee, and let their clients lose … and those who pay lawyers yet don’t know what Jurisdictionary teaches about winning are led to the slaughter by their own lawyer.

Read the testimonials in the right column ⇒ Winners know how to fight to win! 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 rules or how to use them to control judges. Too many good folks believe mythological silver-bullet easy solutions to their legal problems and, as a result, are losing when they would be winning if they knew what I make so easy-to-learn in my Jurisdictionary course! The internet is infested with hare-brained 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.” Remember: The most dangerous falsehoods are ones we most want to believe! Why not learn from a real lawyer with nearly 25 years of case-winning experience? My course is not expensive! People who finish my course say an average 8th grader can learn it all in a single weekend. Please read the testimonials in the right column ⇒ If you have a lawyer, you will save thousands in legal fees by knowing what your lawyer should be doing, and at the same time you will maximize your chances for success by making certain your lawyer does what should be done, instead of taking you for a ride to the poorhouse – as happens to too many good people these days. If you don’t have a lawyer, you’ll know how to stop the opponent’s crooked tricks and control the judge! To learn more, go to: www.Jurisdictionary.com |
How Will Looming Budget Cuts Threaten My Family Law Case?
In November, King County voters rejected Proposition 1, which would have authorized an increase in the King County sales tax to fund criminal justice, fire protection, and other government functions, one of which would be to invest in kids and families. Because of the budget shortfall, come January, one cut will include eliminating nearly the entire Family Court Services program and Family Law Facilitators who assist more than 10,000 clients a year.
What do these cuts mean for my family law case?
Family Court Services is a program in the King County Superior Court that is staffed by social workers who specialize in assisting with family law issues. They help the court during a family law issue to promote the outcome that will benefit the children and the family as a whole.
Family Law Facilitators provide information and referrals to family law litigants who are not represented by attorneys. This means you, if you are a Pro Se party.
Without these programs, people will be without the county-provided resources they may need to navigate through their family law issue.
Luckily, Pro Se University offers two services that can help you:
Workshops are an affordable way to help you with a specific family law issue. They are perfect for people who know what paperwork they need to fill out, but need help with the details. At each workshop, expect to walk out with a completed document that is ready to be filed. We offer a variety of workshops most days of the week. You can check out our workshop schedule and sign up here.
Attorney Appointments are ideal for you if you need individual legal advice and coaching on how to manage your case or if you need help with a specific issue. These appointments are ideal for people who need more personalized information about their family law issue than a workshop will provide.
Attorney Appointments are more expensive than workshops. However, Pro Se University is offering a free 30-minute Attorney Appointment for any family law issue on Tuesday, December 14 and the next one is Tuesday, January 25, 2011. This is a great opportunity to get personal information about your case from the experienced family lawyers on our team.
If you are interested in a free 30-minute Attorney Appointment, you can sign up here. Or call Xenia at 877-776-7310 to schedule an individualized appointment and learn more about our workshops.
