Many today are angry at our justice system, and many of them have good cause to be angry!
But, some are too angry! Their anger will hurt you! They are out of control! They teach falsehoods! They’re that angry! That’s how you know them. They are not your friend! Their “legal theories” fail. They are blinded by rage. Believe them at your peril. Angry people can rarely be trusted, and that is never more true than when they try to get you to join them in their angry legal theories that run contrary to the rules that control our courts. #1 For example, a nice fellow called me the other day and ended up screaming at me because I refused to go along with his idea that our birth certificates are some kind of “contract”. In the first place, the most fundamental truth about contracts is that no “contract” can bind a party who doesn’t understand the agreement. Even if we were able to understand the alleged binding nature of our birth certificate at the moment of our birth, we didn’t sign the thing! Some doctor did, probably. We cannot be bound by a contract we don’t understand, and certainly not one we didn’t enter into. Yet, this nice man screamed at me for refusing to help him storm the hated walls of justice for him and take up his cause to fight the dragons! #2 Another strange legal myth that’s come around in the last few months is that one can “copyright” his or her own name and thereby prevent the courts from using their name on any court papers. Duh! Anger does twist the mind in strange ways! But, to think one can prevent others from using his or her name by “copyrighting” the name is utter nonsense. I want you to win. You cannot win relying on nonsense! #3 A few are absolutely convinced that our courts are “sitting in admiralty” and therefore cannot rule in common law or statute. But, the fact is that pretty much any court can rule in admiralty cases, if the issue before them is one that involves navigation or the rights of seagoing workers or dockside stevedores. Contract disputes, negligence cases, foreclosure, and other matters are absolutely notadmiralty cases, and the courts that hear such cases are not “sitting in admiralty” … no matter whether there’s a yellow fringe on the flag in the corner or not. #4 More than a few seem to have made a “religion” out of believing such things. Many claim to be “patriots”, yet do all they can to evade the Rule of Law and refuse to do much of anything toward learning the principles of due process so many gave their lives to protect in past and present wars! This group of people get together to talk about how horrible things are but spend very little effort learning how to make things better by learning the rules! I know people are hurting. I’ve been helping thousands upon thousands of good people get justice in the courts since 1997 when I first put Jurisdictionary on the internet. It wasn’t much back then, but I’ve been doing all I can to make it better each year and will do the best I can to continue in the months and years to come. But! If you choose to believe the lies, God help you! Lies are what we’re fighting to overcome. Overcoming lies is what the rules are all about! Please don’t get me wrong. I want to help those who are angry, as well as those who are being destroyed by crooked bankers, corrupt judges, lying lawyers, and the hosts of darkness that never seem to give up in their quest to destroy all that’s good and wholesome in this world we live in. But! YOU … that’s right … YOU cannot afford to believe the lies if you want to get justice in our courts! Your birth certificate is not a contract. You are who you are, no matter whether your name is spelled in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS or all small letters or written out in script with a ball-point pen! And, as far as our courts go, nobody (and I do mean nobody) knows better than I do about the corruption of some judges or the stealth and trickery that lawyers use to twist the truth to their own advantage. But, being angry won’t help. The only thing that will help is learning how to use the rules that control the courts, rules that stop corruption, rules that require judges to grant justice, rules that were paid for by far too much innocent blood already. Please join Jurisdictionary in our effort to uplift the hopes and determination of the American People and even people in other nations around the world where justice is for sale to the highest bidder and good, honest people are sacrificed on the altar of money! Someone once said, “The truth will set you free!” If YOU believe that … if you really believe it … then you will join the work of Jurisdictionary to reach people who are being destroyed all too often simply because they are believing the legal mythology so rampant on the internet, in our daily emails, and even in weekend seminars a few amateurs here and there are putting on for those foolish enough to pay. There’s never been but one way to win any contest! Either you cheat … or you use the rules to your own advantage. Cheaters don’t win all that often. Food for thought? – – – – – – – – Winning is EASY once you know the rules and how to use them effectively! Help Your Friends! Don’t let anyone intimidate you into thinking lawsuits are too complicated for mere mortals to grasp or deceive you into thinking all lawyers are smarter than the rest of the human race … ’cause it ain’t so! Anyone can learn the rules required to win! Anyone! You simply need to start with a clear view of the field of play, the object of the game, and the rules that control all the players … including judges and lawyers! It IS simple … as many thousands have learned! In the 13 years since I launched Jurisdictionary I’ve found the most debilitating factor that infects good people with hopelessness is the fear that comes from lack of knowing how the game of litigation is played to win! Not knowing creates fear. Knowledge displaces fear with the confidence! Take any apparently complicated thing apart to examine its component parts and you quickly see how they all fit together. When you first begin, it seems impossible. But! If someone shows you how each separate part works with each of the other parts, even the most complicated things are suddenly easy-to-understand. The mystery my profession has woven disappears! Every one of you has great legal power! Sadly, many good people never discover the power that is theirs … so people who know how to use the rules of court and the law of the case take advantage of them! Jurisdictionary wants to turn the tables on crooked lawyers and biased judges and protect the “little guys and gals” that are being taken advantage of simply because no one has ever come out with a course like this. No one has ever cared enough to tell you the truth. No one has ever made it this easy-to-understand! It is easy-to-understand how to win in court once you see things the way I teach them!

Using The Internet For A Dual Attack Pro-Se Strategy
By: Rich Bergeron (www.suckssite.com, www.xyiencesucks.com)
You’re a fool in the judge’s eyes in most courtrooms before you even open your mouth if you don’t pay good money for the advice of a lawyer. If you represent yourself, you’re not paying into the system. To judges and opposing lawyers your attempts are considered laughable or hopeless. In many cases, if you go pro-se, it is almost a foregone conclusion that you’re fighting a lost cause. You have to go above and beyond the traditional approach to win in this climate.
Fortunately, there is an equalizer. It’s called the Internet. There are two important ways you can use the World Wide Web to win your legal scuffles.
First, you can use the Internet to put yourself through a rigorous, informal law school. There are law libraries available online and vast free resources. It’s all about how much time you want to spend on learning the nuances of the legal process. You will have to at least be proficient at crafting pleadings and understanding “courtspeak.” Being a Law & Order nut only goes so far in a real courtroom in front of a real judge. You may have to go as far as an appeal, which is almost a scientific process. Some things are beautiful in their complication. The law is complicated in a convoluted way, and it’s ugly and vicious to those who don’t know how to use it to their advantage. Educate yourself to the best of your ability on the legal process using the Internet to gain free access to valuable information and guidelines.
Register for a PACER System (pacer.gov) password as soon as you can. This database of all kinds of official court records can be crucial for finding hidden secrets about the opposing client and law firm. You can also follow the day-to-day activity in your own case there. This is a lawyer’s tool the other side won’t expect you to know about. If you can master your ability to comb this database for dirt on your opposition, whatever investment you make in the site (they charge 8 cents a page for downloads) will be worth its weight in gold.
Now that you are ready for a sound legal attack, you can move to the second prong of the Internet strategy: the promotional process. You can publish your court documents on sites like www.docstoc.com and www.jdsupra.com and then embed them on a blog or a social site created specifically to publicize your plight. You can even register a domain for a “Sucks Site” like the guy who created www.Taubmansucks.com did. That site opened my eyes to the possibility that you can shine your own spotlight on your case without having to rely on the media or politicians in high places to champion your cause. I registered several of my own “Sucks Sites,” and you can, too. Just go to www.godaddy.com and pick a URL name that’s catchy and inclusive of your issue or opposition. You don’t even need any real Web design skills. There is a great cookie-cutter program on GoDaddy.com you can use for as little as $5 for three months (WebSite Tonight), or you could just forward the domain to a, Google Blogger account, a MySpace page, or a Facebook page.
If you go for a protest site, just remember to keep your content factual and designed to bring attention to the issues of your case. Don’t delve into scandalous accusations or rumors, and don’t use abusive language. Explain the issue in an informative and educated manner, and research the law that is supposed to be working in your favor. Just tell the truth and let your voice be heard. In all your postings, name your opposition in the title and descriptions. Use words like corruption and injustice in the tags if that’s what you are experiencing. Be creative and don’t stop building links and content to further your goals.
You may not even have to spend more than a few nickels and dimes to get your message out (GoDaddy offers .info domain registration for .89 cents a year) and learn to fight for yourself in court. Meanwhile, your opponents will have to spend thousands upon thousands in legal fees if they utilize an attorney or law firm. At this point in my own ongoing legal matters, winning at long last will not be as gratifying as knowing the other side has already lost. Use this same approach, and you’ll find the power of free speech and human ingenuity combined with the global reach of the Internet is immeasurable.
Liberty, Justice, & The Rule of Law
I have a T-shirt that says “Freedom is not Free!” The once-famous patriot Patrick Henry said, “Give me Liberty or give me death!” Liberty is what we seek. Liberty to own a home. Liberty to run a business. Liberty to enjoy life. Liberty to walk the streets unharmed by hoodlums and assassins. Liberty to enjoy our God-given rights! But, the crack in that Bell is both real and figurative. The physical crack is real. We’ve seen the Bell and its physical crack. The Bell hangs in a Philadelphia museum. From the window near the Bell you can see Independence Hall across the lawn where a Declaration of Independence was signed, proclaiming a promise as yet not quite filled. The promise was “Justice for ALL”. The figurative crack in the bell, you see, is our failure to learn how to secure Liberty here at home without physical violence here or anywhere else in the world. We the People have thus far abdicated our Power and our Responsibility to secure for ourselves and our posterity the blessings of Liberty and the protections of Justice too many already have died for … far too many! So! What is the point of all this? The point is simply that Liberty without Justice is an empty dream. Liberty without Justice is impossible. All the warfare imaginable cannot secure Justice, unless there is a plan for Justice and a People willing to learn how Justice works, how it is obtained, how it is made available to “ALL”! We don’t have that now – but we CAN ! ! ! Every day – and I do mean “every day” – we receive emails from people anxious to tell us, “The sky is falling! There is no justice anymore. The courts are all corrupt!” And, in many cases, that’s true because the People have abdicated their responsibility to “ride herd” on my profession by learning the game! Think about my words, please! Think! All those wonderful, brave, dedicated boys and girls putting their lives in danger and dying for the cause of Liberty … while We the People allow Justice to be stolen from us by a profession that has made it a business! Justice is not a business! Justice is and should be treated as a holy enterprise where truth alone is sought and the Rule of Law is secured for each and every last one of us through the enforcement of due process rules that are blind to money, blind to power, blind to political influence, and refuse to tolerate corruption of any kind! Let THIS be the generation that secures Justice! Let THIS be the generation that takes responsibility for our past failures and refusal to learn the rules of Justice. Let THIS be the generation that teaches its children how to use the tools and processes that gain Justice! Let THIS be the generation that demands that Justice and its rules be taught in our tax-supported schools! Let THIS be the generation future leaders will look back to and praise for the price of diligence WE paid to secure for them that form of Justice known as American Justice that treats every person equally with honor and respect! Let THIS be the generation that honors those who gave their all for Liberty as WE make the effort to learn Justice and its rules so that Liberty can truly belong to everyone! Liberty and Justice for ALL? Yes! By the Grace of Almighty God and our commitment to use our ink to honor those who pay the price with blood. – – – – – – – – – I’ve been helping thousands upon thousands of good people get justice in the courts since 1997 when I first put Jurisdictionary on the internet. It wasn’t much back then, but I’ve been doing all I can to make it better each year and will do the best I can to continue in the months and years to come. But, learning Justice is up to each of you! There was a bumper sticker many years ago that said, “If you want Peach, work for Justice!” Heed this call … not for yourselves alone but for everyone! Being angry won’t help you or anyone else! The only thing that will help is learning and teaching others how to use the rules of due process that make Justice possible, rules that control the courts, rules that stop corruption, rules that require judges to grant justice, rules that were paid for by far too much innocent blood already. Join Jurisdictionary in our effort to uplift the hopes and determination of the American People and even people in other nations around the world where justice is for sale to the highest bidder and good people are sacrificed on the altar of money! Someone once said, “The truth will set you free!” If YOU believe that – if you really believe it – please do all you can to promote the mission of Jurisdictionary and reach out to people who are being destroyed all too often simply because they don’t know the rules! There’s never been but two ways to win any contest! Either you cheat or use the rules to your advantage. Cheaters don’t win all that often. Food for thought?

Nolo is Acquired by Internet Brands as Part of Legal Roll Up
After 40 years of leading the self-help law movement, Nolo, is being acquired by Internet Brands an advertising driven Internet company. Nolo was created by two frustrated legal aid lawyers, Charles (Ed) Sherman and Ralph (Jake) Warner, who wanted to figure out a way to help the thousands of consumers with their legal problems who could not afford an attorney and were turned away by legal aid because their incomes were too high.
Based in Berkeley, California, the center of the counter cultural revolution of the 1960’s, Nolo assembled a group of radical lawyers, editors, and writers who were determined to do something about a broken legal system where 90% of the US middle class were priced out of the legal system. Championing legal reforms that would make the U.S. justice system accessible to everyone, the company has seen these reforms become mainstream in the US.
Courts now offer their own automated self-help legal forms, legal aid agencies publish state-wide legal information web sites and also distribute automated legal forms, legal form web sites give away legal forms for free as a way to generate traffic, small claims court limits have been raised in many states, and lawyers are delivering "unbundled legal services" and creating virtual law firms, figuring out ways to deliver legal services online for a fixed and affordable fee.
Its ironic that Nolo is being acquired by Internet Brands, for an amount rumored to be in the range of $20,970,000, by an advertising company that is focused primarily on generating leads for law firms through their directories and advertising properties. How does self-help law fit into this business model?
The amount being paid is little more than one times revenue — not exactly a premium. Although, Nolo publishes Willmaker and several other excellent web-based legal software programs, it is still primarily a book publisher. In its hey day, before the Internet penetrated almost every household in America, Nolo self-help law books were the primary source for accurate do it yourself legal information and forms.
As the web expanded hundreds of legal information and legal form web sites also emerged, plus national brands such as LegalZoom. These web-based alternatives also provided legal solutions without the need to use a lawyer — the same need that Nolo was meeting. Except that instead of reading a 200-300 page book in order to get to a legal solution — web-based applications delivered a legal solution more efficiently, faster, and at less cost.
Nolo has migrated many of its legal forms online, too little and too late, and except for a few major products, non-automated forms. Here is another example of a print publisher whose business, despite the excellence of its product, has been eroded by the Internet.
It is well known that Nolo’s book business actually declined during this recession and growth has been flat. The fastest growing area of Nolo’s business is their Lawyer Directory. This is ironic for a company that prided itself in developing self-help legal solutions that don’t require the assistance of an attorney.
The challenge for Internet Brands will be to figure out how to unlock the assets buried within Nolo’s vast collection of self-help law books and turn these assets into web-based applications that can be distributed over the Internet. It remains to be seen whether the quality of Nolo’s self-help legal content will deteriorate under the management of an advertising-driven company that measures results in page views and unique visitors.
Internet Brands, previously a public company, was recently taken private private when it was acquired by Hellman & Friedman, a private equity firm, based in San Francisco, in December, 2010. Internet Brands has acquired over 70 vertical web sites in areas ranging from travel to cars to real estate. Internet Brands derives more than 70% of its revenues from advertising on its portfolio of web sites.
In December, 2010 Internet Brands also acquired ALLLAW.com , a consumer legal information portal and AttorneyLocate – an Attorney Directory Service. Both of these web sites are relatively weak properties. Compete.com shows that in March, 2011 Nolo had 498,769 unique visitors ( an 8% decline for the year), ALLLAW.com had 190,069 unique visitors, (for the of March, 2011); AttorneyLocate.com was especially weak with only 18,277 unique visitors (for the month of March, 2011). Internet Brands also owns ExpertHub, which in turn manages web sites in verticals markets such as dentists, plastic surgery, accountants, tummy tuck, and of course lawyers. The ExpertHub site for lawyers only generates 96,289 unique visitors a month (March, 2011), so I wonder if that level of traffic is high enough to support their advertising rates.
There is irony in the fact that LegalZoom, a company that prides itself on offering legal solutions from a non-law firm generates more traffic than any of the sites mentioned above at 889,762 unique visitors in March, 2011, trailing only Findlaw and Lawyers.com, (both of which offer similar services as the Internet Brands properties). With the traffic that LegalZoom gets, maybe LegalZoom should consider creating their own lawyers directory for consumers who need just a bit of legal advice to go with their forms to keep them on the right track? I wonder what solos and small law firms would think if LegalZoom moved in that direction?.
It will be interesting to see how Internet Brands integrates these legal properties to leverage the assets in each acquisition as its tries to compete with the likes of Findlaw and Lawyers.com . It will also be interesting to see whether the quality of Nolo’s self help legal content deteriorates under the management of an advertising company that measures results in impressions, clicks, and unique visitors. If Jake Warner, the present CEO stays involved, I am sure the quality of Nolo’s products will remain "top of class."
It’s an odd mix, –the best in class self-help legal book publisher with an excellent reputation, with some less than best in class lawyer directories and a legal information web site. Only time will tell whether this combination will work. (Although Internet Brands may intend to run each of these properties as separate brands, which would help Nolo maintain the quality of it self help legal content).
Getting a Patent For Your Idea or Invention
A client came to me today wanting to know if I could represent him to obtain a patent for an idea he had. He said that he contacted a patent attorney, the only one in the phone book, and he wanted $9,000.00 for representation. I had to tell him that I could not represent him in the matter. Patent law is considered a very specialized practice in the legal profession. Most patent lawyers have a scientific and/or engineering background and even passed a special bar exam in addition to the one all other attorneys passed. Their specialized skills and expertise command high fees.
Consistent with the recuring theme of this site, you can file for a patent without an attorney. You will have to spend a lot of time doing the research and drafting the necessary documents, but it can be done.
Before embarking on the acquisition of a patent, make sure your idea or invention is one that is patentable. You must have a unique idea that is not yet for sale or known about. This means you have to research the idea to insure it is original.
Furthermore, you must be able to describe all aspects of your invention. A simple idea is not patentable. For example, I think we should all have affordable flying cars and robot maids. However, I don’t have any knowledge of how to put these ideas into place, so I could not obtain a patent. You should have well crafted designs and ideally, you should make prototypes showing that your idea actually works.
Consider the economic viability of your invention. Weigh the likely market for your product, the cost of production, and determine if it is likely to be profitable. If not, it is not worth the costs of obtaining a patent.
Once you’ve determined that a patent is right for you, you can obtain a provisional patent for a fraction of the cost and effort that the regular patent will cost. This will allow you patent pending status for one year. During this time, you can start marketing your product to test the waters. You may then file for a regular patent.
This article was based on a real question somebody had. If you have a question about a legal matter that you’d like answered, please do not hesitate to contact FreeForLaw.com. Also, if you’d like to purchase a product, such as a book from Nolo, and you find the information on FreeForLaw.com helpful, please link from this site to help pay to keep this site up and running.
