How to Dodge a Lawsuit

Click or Call 866-LAW-EASY Toll Free!

There are several ways to dodge a lawsuit.

Whether you’re a plaintiff or defendant, you must know what smart defendants do to dodge lawsuits.

The complete details are in my affordable, official, 24-hour step-by-step Jurisdictionary course that people tells us an average 8th can understand (if you can get an 8th grader to sit still that long!).

If a defendant is served with a complaint, he may dodge the lawsuit by filing motions to avoid filing an Answer!

This is called the “flurry of motions”.

Once a defendant files an Answer, he’s locked in and misses this chance to dodge the lawsuit altogether.

Don’t file an Answer if you can dodge the lawsuit with a “flurry of motions”.

Inexperienced lawyers and pro se people (who don’t yet have my Jurisdictionary course) make the avoidable mistake of filing an Answer to the plaintiff’s Complaint … instead of using the flurry of motions as my course explains step-by-step with sample forms!Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

  • Motion to Dismiss
  • Motion to Strike
  • Motion for More Definite Statement

Each of these motions postpones the necessity of filing an Answer to the plaintiff’s Complaint … and gains you valuable time and evidence-gathering opportunities!

In some cases it puts an end to the case. Period!

Motion to Dismiss: There are several grounds for filing this motion. Here are a few. The rest are in my course.

  • Lack of Subject Matter Jurisdiction
  • Improper Service of Process
  • Improper Venue
  • Failure to State a Cause of Action

Each is fully explained in my course.

Motion to Strike: The following are a few of the many grounds for filing this motion:

  • The Complaint Contains False Allegations
  • The Complaint Contains Scandalous Allegations
  • The Complaint Contains Impertinent Allegations

This is power YOU can use!.

Motion for More Definite Statement: This motion should be filed when a Complaint is so poorly-written that a reasonable person would have difficulty understanding what it says, i.e., what the plaintiff is complaining about.

Sample forms for all of these are in the complete official course.

If you are sued, do NOT file an Answer until you use ALL these motions that fit the circumstances!

Failure to use the Flurry of Motions weakens your case and, of course, misses a valuable opportunity to dodge the case altogether.

These tips should convince you to order my complete course … whether you’re a plaintiff or defendant.

If you don’t know your legal options, you don’t a chance of winning!

Winners know how the game is played to win — including how to file and respond to the Flurry of Motions.

I know what it takes to win. I’ve been doing professionally since 1986!

Force Your Opponents to Pay Up!

17 Mar

Win with Jurisdictionary!

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!

Win Without Risking Trial!

17 Mar

( From “How to Win in Court” Course )
Click or Call 866-LAW-EASY Toll Free!

Do you really know how to win before trial?

Lawyers may drag out a case (so they can make more money billing for their time), and many insist on going to trial (which costs even more money).

If you hold the winning cards (the law and facts favor your case) you can win before trial!

Let me explain. The full details you need to know are in my affordable step-by-step Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” course, but I can give you a few starting points to convince you of the value of my affordable course and why you should order today … if you don’t already have my popular course!

#1 … There is absolutely nothing in the way of evidence you can get into the record at trial that you cannot get into the record before trial, using your five (5) powerful evidence discovery tools, as more fully explained in my popular and affordable step-by-step 24-hour course.

There are no witnesses you cannot question under oath before trial.

There are no documents or things you cannot get into the record before trial.

There is nothing going to happen at trial that cannot be made to happen before trial.

If the facts are on your side, you can get them all into evidence before trial, using my Jurisdictionary methods.

#2 … There are absolutely no legal arguments you can make at trial that you cannot make before trial using the research and memorandum system my course explains.

If the law is on your side, you don’t have to wait to go to trial to make your legal arguments. You can and should make all your legal arguments before trial the way my popular self-help course explains.

You can quote and cite all the statutes, constitutional provisions, common law doctrine, and court rules that may apply to your case using the research and memorandum system my course explains to make your winning record.

#3 … There is absolutely nothing that can be done at a trial that cannot be resolved in your favor before trial, if you have a winning case (i.e., if the law and facts are on your side).

In a very real sense, the “trying” of your case begins at the filing of the very first pleading and continues through every phase of litigation.

Here are 4 common reasons cases go to trial and why you need my course whether you have a lawyer or not.

  1. They had a lazy lawyer who didn’t do the pre-trial work he could have done.
  2. They had a stupid lawyer who didn’t know how to do the pre-trial work he could have done.
  3. They had a greedy lawyer who dragged out the case to the bitter end to take more money from his client.
  4. They didn’t have a lawyer, and they didn’t know what my popular Jurisdictionary course makes so easy-to-understand an average 8th grader can do it!

Don’t wait for trial to win!Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

Here are a few of the dozens of reasons why you should do all you can possibly do to avoid going to trial:

  1. Trial is uncertain, especially with unpredictable juries or corrupt judges.
  2. Trial is a “think on your feet” exercise that keeps you on your toes, where pre-trial work is slow and steady and lets you work at your own pace.
  3. Trial exposes you to the dirtiest lawyer tricks in a way that failure to react quickly to put a stop to the high jinks of your opponent can be fatal.

If you have a winnable case, win before trial!

There are no questions you can ask at a trial that you cannot ask before trial using interrogatories, requests for admissions, depositions, and subpoenas as explained in my affordable course.

There are no documents or things you can bring to trial that you cannot get into the trial record before trial using requests for production, subpoenas, and depositions duce tecum as explained in my course.

There are no legal arguments you can make at trial that you cannot make more effectively and powerfully before trial using the legal research and memorandum system my course explains.

If you don’t win before trial, you didn’t do what you could have done earlier in the case when you still had lots of time to do it. Trial is crunch time! Not a good place to be, if you can avoid it by winning before trial using the Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” self-help course.

I know what it takes to win before trial.

My Jurisdictionary will show you how, too … in just 24-hours … step-by-step!

 

 

 

The Pro Se Problem

08 Feb

( From “How to Win in Court” Course )
Click or Call 866-LAW-EASY Toll Free!

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.Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

Why?

We at Jurisdictionary receive emails every day complaining there’s a judicial “conspiracy” against pro se litigants.

Let’s examine facts:

  1. Most pro se people know nothing about the official Rules of Evidence that control the judge and all parties and their lawyers.
  2. Most pro se people know nothing about the official Rules of Procedure that control the judge and all parties and their lawyers.
  3. Most pro se people have no idea what “due process” really is.
  4. Most pro se people can’t recognize the opposing lawyer’s dirty tricks.
  5. Most pro se people assume what “admissible evidence” is and don’t know what stuff isn’t.
  6. Most pro se people draft their pleadings and motions incorrectly – usually with far too many words!
  7. Most pro se people don’t know why it’s vital to write proposed orders for the judge to sign.
  8. Most pro se people don’t know why, when, or how to make effective objections in court.
  9. Most pro se people don’t understand what facts are critical to winning a case and what facts are of no consequence.
  10. Most pro se people muddy the legal waters with court-confusing insignificance.
  11. Most pro se people don’t know how to find and cite controlling appellate opinions in support of their motions.
  12. Most pro se people don’t arrange in advance of every proceeding to have a court stenographer present, so they can control the judge.
  13. 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.

Your Most Important Right

09 Dec

Your #1 Right!

We all talk about our “rights”.Remove the Blindfold ! ! !

Many complain how our “rights” are being taken away.

A few are ready to fight-and-die to protect our “rights”.

But few know what is their #1 Right!

In fact, the main reason we’re losing so many of our rights these days is precisely because so few know their #1 Right!

That’s right! (No pun intended.)

Ask yourself this, “What good are “rights” that can’t be enforced?

Your #1 Right is the right to know how to enforce your rights!

Yet, government isn’t telling you!

Your tax-supported schools aren’t teaching your children.

Lawyers certainly aren’t leaking their money-making secrets to the public.

An old adage says, “Ignorance of the law is no excuse,” yet neither government nor the legal profession has at any time in the history of the world made any genuine effort to teach the public how justice is secured in courts. Nothing about the rules of evidence. Nothing about the rules of procedure. Nothing about how to use the rules to get Justice! Nothing!

Without your #1 Right (or tens of thousands of dollars to pay lawyers to secure your rights for you) what good are government’s empty promises?

Indeed, if you don’t know how to enforce your rights, do you really have any?

Do you really?

Think carefully!

Rights without knowledge to enforce them are just empty promises, like carrots on a stick to get us to work hard and keep the economy going for the well-to-do who canafford lawyers to fight for them!

You and your children have been lied to long enough!

The legal profession cannot hide your #1 Right any longer!

Your blindfold is coming off!

Your #1 Right is easy-to-learn!

Your #1 Right is the right to know how to enforce your rights!

It’s easy to learn how to enforce your rights in court … without a lawyer!

You can learn in a single weekend what it takes to obtain court orders that command sheriffs and federal marshals to protect and enforce your rights!

Read Luke 11:52 in your Bible to discover how long the wool has been pulled over the public’s eyes by lawyers who’ve been running the world far too long by purposely keeping you in the dark so lawyers can get rich at your expense!

Exercise your #1 Right!

In just 24 hours you can learn how to use the power of courts to get justice for yourselves and those you love, for your neighbors, for the world!

The affordable Jurisdictionary step-by-step self-help course will give you the powerful keys of lawsuit knowledge lawyers have hidden from you for thousands of years.

The 6 Types of Lawsuit Complaints

09 Dec

Know the 6 types of lawsuit complaints.

Every lawsuit starts with a complaint.

See how easy it is?

  1. The plaintiff in the chart sues Defendant A and Defendant B.
  2. Defendant B counter-claims against Plaintiff.
  3. Defendant A cross-claims against Defendant B.
  4. Defendant B counter-cross-claims against Defendant A.
  5. Defendant A files a third-party complaint against Third Party Defendant.
  6. Third-Party Defendant counter-claims against Defendant A.

That’s all there is to it!

See how easy it is?

Lawsuits are “ridiculously easy-to-understand” once the Jurisdictionary step-by-step self-help course shows you how the parts fit together.

If you have a lawyer, you’ll know what your lawyer should be doing!

If you don’t have a lawyer, you’ll know what it takes to win!

The course offers many diagrams just like this plus charts, sample forms, simplified explanations, and practical tactics that give you power to win … with or without a lawyer!Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

It’s not rocket science.

It’s straight-forward once you see the step-by-step procedures and how they’re controlled by a simple set of rules an average 8th grader can understand.

Everyone knows a baseball game has at least 9 innings.

Everyone knows the visiting team is first to bat.

Everyone knows the batter goes back to the dugout after 3 strikes.

It’s simple.

It’s baseball.

It’s America!

Lawsuits are just as easy as baseball, once you see them with the explanations and examples the course provides.

Not many people know how simple lawsuits really are. My profession has kept this knowledge secret from you on purpose!

It shouldn’t be that way!

Now YOU can know how to win … with or without a lawyer!

Case-Winning Paperwork

05 Nov

… Part 1

( From Jurisdictionary® “How to Win in Court” course. )

Want to drive your opponents nuts?Man Waving Paper

Tie them down with word-power!

I’ve been a lawyer since 1986, and what I tell you here (and with more details in my “How to Win in Court” step-by-step self-help course) will empower you to stuff your opponents in a neatly-packaged word-box and win your case hands-down!

Many lawyers never understand this … so they lose, needlessly.

Most pro se people never understand this, either … so they lose, needlessly.

The key is nothing harder than writing simple sentences.

Short sentences.

Powerful sentences.

Sentences with ONE VERB.

Sentences with ONE SUBJECT.

Sentences that EACH HAVE THEIR OWN PARAGRAPH NUMBER! That’s right. Every sentence gets its own paragraph, and each of those paragraphs has a separate number. (The course gives sample forms to show you how.)

One sentence per numbered paragraph. One subject. One verb. And only the absolutely necessary adjectives and adverbs.Big-Nosed Nazi

If it’s important to note that your opponent’s nose was gigantic, say so. Otherwise, leave it out! Too many adjectives and adverbs just complicate your case unnecessarily, give the other side more things to argue about … things that ultimately have nothing to do with what it takes to win!

A sentence is a complete thought. Mrs. Edgerton taught me that in Second Grade. It’s helped me win countless court battles.

Every simple sentence starts with a capital letter, ends with a period, and contains just one verb, and just one subject. No commas or semi-colons unless absolutely, positively necessary and for a purpose that promotes your cause!

Consider these two sets of numbered paragraphs:

  1. Defendant was very forceful and convincing when he said he would spray my strawberry plants every week during the four months I was away on business in Europe shopping for priceless art treasures for my adorable wife, however he did not at any time while I was gone spray my strawberries, because he was off playing poker in Las Vegas and losing his shirt, so I lost most of my strawberry crop this year to tiny green bugs that ate the beautiful white strawberry blossoms before my plants could bear their luscious fruit.
  2. I paid defendant $2,000 before leaving for Europe, and he didn’t ask for any more money, so I assumed he would do what he said he would do, but he didn’t, so I lost a great deal of money.
  3. This is why I have sued him.

– – – – – – –

  1. Plaintiff and defendant entered a written agreement.
  2. Copy of agreement attached as Exhibit A.
  3. Defendant promised to spray plaintiff’s strawberries with insecticide from 5 December 2009 through 15 April 2010.
  4. Defendant agreed to do the job for $2,000.
  5. Plaintiff paid Defendant $2,000 on 1 December 2009.
  6. Defendant failed to spray plaintiff’s strawberries.
  7. Plaintiff suffered money damages exceeding $15,000.

Each sentence has it’s own paragraph number.

Each sentence has one verb, one subject.

Each sentence has minimal adjectives or adverbs.

Each sentence is a complete thought.

There can be no doubt what your words mean!

Winning in court is all about effective communication.

Communicate effectively with simple sentences.

 

Lawsuit Anatomy

27 Sep

Start to learn lawsuit anatomy by spelling: CAT.

Here are the 3 basic steps of every lawsuit.

  • Complaint
  • Answer
  • Trial

Start here, and you’ll soon be operating like a pro in court, controlling judges and defeating crooked lawyers.

Of course, there’s much more to winning, but it’s all easy if you start with basic anatomy:CAT.

C = Complaint … Where every case begins. Plaintiff complains by filing a Complaint. He alleges (1) what duty the defendant breached, (2) how the defendant breached the duty, and (3) how the plaintiff suffered damages (or is threatened with damages) as a direct result.

A = Answer … Where defendant responds to plaintiff’s Complaint by filing an Answer and Affirmative Defenses. In his Answer he admits or denies (or claims he lacks enough knowledge to admit or deny) each separate allegation of the plaintiff’s Complaint. In his Affirmative Defenses he alleges facts that (if he can prove them) will relieve him of his obligation to plaintiff.

T = Trial … Where the judge (or jury) decides the final verdict by examiningadmissible evidence, using plain old common sense to decide which facts presented are true, weighing each side’s evidence to see which side has the greater weight of evidence, and then applying the law to determine who wins.

Plaintiffs file Complaints.

Defendants file Answers (and essential “Affirmative Defenses”, as you will learn in my course.

Judges and juries examine the facts and law at trial to decide who wins.

During the process Motions and Discovery Tools are used by both sides to convince the court who should win.

This is where the fight is – not at trial.

Every winnable case can be won before trial, if you use my case-winning tactics … all explained in my affordable, official, 24-hour Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” self-help course.Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

For example, there are 3 Motions the defendant can use to avoid filing an answer:

  1. Motion to Dismiss
  2. Motion to Strike
  3. Motion for More Definite Statement

All explained in the course.

At any time after the Complaint is filed, either side may use 5 discovery tools to get facts that may lead to admissible evidence:

  1. Admissions
  2. Production
  3. Interrogatories
  4. Depositions
  5. Subpoenas and other court orders

Also explained fully in my affordable self-help course.

How To Argue With Judges

24 Sep

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:Win with Jurisdictionary!

  • 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!

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 lawyer should 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!

How to Read the Law

21 Sep

Know What the Law Actually Says and Means!

One of the biggest case-losing mistakes is mis-reading the law.

  • Constitutions
  • Rules
  • Statutes
  • Codes
  • Court Rulings
  • Other Legal Documents

If you don’t know what a law actually says, you’ll have a devilishly hard time getting a judge to agree with you!

Understanding the “rules of language interpretation” is essential … not only to winning lawsuits but to obtain success in other pursuits of life as well.

Legal language must be interpreted according to the “rules of language interpretation”.

Understanding the rules of language interpretation are vital to winning your case. You DO want to win, don’t you?

Too many otherwise clever people “assume” they know what a law says, when theonly opinion that counts in court is what appellate justices say the law says.

Appellate justices apply the rules of language interpretation. You must also!

Learn the rules … if you want to win!

For example, one of the principles rules is the “Plain Meaning Rule”. This rule requires judges to give words their “plain meaning”, i.e., what an ordinary reasonable person would believe a word means in the context where it’s found.

You must never let a judge or opposing party or his lawyer to play games with words. Knowing these rules (more completely explained in my course) gives you the knowledge-power you need to put a stop to the word games!

If a reasonable person would read “bicycle” to mean a two-wheeled vehicle powered only by legs and feet, no judge or lawyer should be allowed to stretch the meaning to include mopeds or motorcycles. Judges and lawyers should be compelled to agree that a law says “plainly” what it says and that it means it.

Sometimes judges and lawyers twist words to reach an outcome they desire. YOU must know these rules so you can put a stop to it before it causes you to lose your case!Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

So? What if the meaning is plain but the context is confusing?

Other rules (explained in my course) give clear direction.

For example, according to the rule of “ejusdem generis” (simply Latin for “of the same type”), general terms at the end of specific lists include only things of the same type as those specifically mentioned in the list. If a provision lists “oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and other fruit“, the doctrine of ejusdem generis limits the phrase “other fruit” to mean other citrus fruit. Apples and pears are not included. One may assume the provision includes other citrus, e.g., kumquats, limes, tangelos, etc. However, strawberries and grapes are not included. The term ejusdem generismeans, in essence, of the same type.
