Even experienced lawyers fail to force their opponents to meet the Burden of Proof.
It’s like making your enemies “pay up”, to prove what they say!
You never have to prove you don’t owe!
Nor are you required to prove your dog didn’t bite your neighbor, or your driving didn’t cause the accident.
Everyone demanding any right in court has a burden to prove they’re entitled to have the court enforce the right!
If they can’t meet their burden, they lose and, if you’re the defendant, you win!
Of course, if you’re a plaintiff, it’s your job to meet the burden of proof to show you deserve the court’s favor.
Knowing how the burden works (there’s quite a bit more to it than I can explain in this short newsletter) gives you power to win instead of being just another victim!
The burden is always on the party making claims.
The burden is never on defenders – unless the burden shifts once the claimant meets his burden of proof.
In civil cases, the burden is met by presenting the greater weight of admissible evidence (sometimes called the “preponderance of evidence”) in support of the fact elements necessary to prevail on at least one “cause of action” (explained in the course and essential knowledge, if you want to win).
In criminal cases, the state’s burden is met only by presenting evidence that proves the fact elements of the crimes alleged beyond and to the exclusion of any reasonable doubt.
The burden of proof is always on the party asserting a claim, making a motion, demanding a right, etc.
Before a court can lawfully grant relief of any kind, the party seeking relief must carry his burden to prove he’s entitled to relief … whether the case is civil or criminal.
Some may say, “It’s just your word against his.”
That’s never true in court.
One side always has the burden.
Just like in a tennis match, the ball is always on one side of the net!
The burden of proof may shift back and forth during a complicated lawsuit, depending on who claims what and when, however the burden is always on the side seeking relief at any particular moment, the party making a claim, the litigant moving the court, the claimant alleging a fact, etc.
WARNING:
Lawyers will try to put you “on the defensive”.
Lawyers will try to trick you into struggling to prove a negative, e.g., that you didn’t do something or that something did not happen. Don’t get sucked in!
People who don’t have the official Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” course go out of their way to show they were out of town that day or confined to a wheelchair or otherwise struggle to dis-prove something that is entirely the burden of the other side to prove.
This is what crooked lawyers do.
BEWARE!
BE WISE!
If a defendant ignorantly tries to dis-prove what his opponent has the burden to prove, his opponent is spared the labor of proving his case! The waters are muddied. The real issues get lost. The judge gets sidetracked. And YOU come out on the short end of the stick every time!
Smart people who use the official Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” course know how to move the court to take judicial notice that “the burden is on the moving party to prove whatever he claims” and, if the other side cannot prove what he claims, Jurisdictionary students know how to move the court for summary judgment and put an end to their troubles then-and-there!
Put the ball in the court where it belongs!

How to Control those who Control YOU!
The Wild Wild West was won by a very small number of folks clever enough to bring the following essential with them to establish “Law & Order” in the unsettled plains and mountains west of the Mississippi:
England, did you say?
Yup!
In that single book (you can get a Kindle or Nook version for free) written before our Declaration of Independence, they found enough common-sense law to settle towns, bring railroads, jail bandits, and hang rustlers.
Contrary to what you’ve seen on TV and in the movies, it wasn’t faster guns and bigger fists that settled lawless cowtowns like Tombstone and Dodge City. It was the support of local townsfolk who wanted law and believed in the principles of Justice found in those two books: the Bible and Blackstone.
We each face the threat of similar lawlessness. Yes, today! Perhaps especially today!
It may be a bank using fraud to foreclose. It may be a corrupt business partner, ex-spouse, or next-door neighbor out-of-control. For many it’s the threat of government officials refusing to follow the law – tax collectors, police officers, and corrupt judges who break the law to allow fraud a free rein in their courts as lawyers rape the people who do not know what my affordable, official, 24-hour step-by-step Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” self-help course makes so easy to understand.
When “the law” is an outlaw, there’s only one remedy.
The Rules!
Did you know the Rules of Evidence that control all civil and criminal proceedings in our state and federal courts comprise less than 30 pages in the official rule books?
Did you know the Rules of Procedure that control all civil and criminal proceedings in our state and federal courts comprise not many more than 60 pages in the official rule books?
These are the rules YOU can use to control every judge, every lawyer, every bank, every giant corporation, or even your nexty door neighbor or business partner, and every state and federal agency trying to pull the wool over your eyes.
Why be needlessly robbed of your rights by not knowing this handful of rules or how to use them to stop the rich and powerful from running your world?
Your legal problems today can be solved the same way western settlers brought lawlessness to its knees in the prairies and remote Rocky Mountain regions more than a century ago, as did those who settled our Eastern cities and towns more than two centuries ago.
The Rules control lawlessness!
Once YOU know the rules and how to use them to control corrupt judges and crooked lawyers, Justice is Yours!
The Rules of Evidence and Rules of Procedure protect you and your children from lawless legal officials, crooked lawyers, corrupt judges, scheming bankers, incompetent doctors, rival siblings, and everyone else who does you harm or seeks to do so.
The Rules and how to use them are easy to learn with my popular, affordable, 24-hour Jurisdictionary step-by-step self-help course!
You have a remedy at law … once you know how to the rules.
If a fraudulent lender, bill collector, tax man, corrupt judge, crooked lawyer, or anyone else uses unlawful force to deprive you or your family of your rights, you have a powerful remedy!
THE RULES OF COURT!
The Rules of Evidence and Procedure RULE the courts!
This is true only for those who know how to use them!
The Rules of Court are the People’s power to control our government and command our leaders to protect us and address our grievances with court orders that can command even those in the highest offices, the richest of the rich, the biggest of the big.
The Rules are what the 4th of July is all about!
The Rules don’t just give us “rights”.
The Rules give “power to enforce our rights”!
That’s how the West was won!
Knowing how to use the Rules is how you win!
