See the cute little blue fellow?
He’s hoping. Not that hope isn’t a good thing. Hope based on truth is a good thing. Unrealistic hope is not. Unprepared hope is not. Uninformed hope is not. In other words, hope based on hype is foolishness. Received favorable responses to our last Tips & Tactics yet some still hold legal mythology is better than learning the official rules and how to use official rules. But, you cannot win hoping on hype … no matter how promising the hype may seem. Sure, it would be great if you could get out of paying a speeding ticket by claiming you copyrighted your name so the courts can’t use your name without your permission, or that your name in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS isn’t “you”, or that you’re a “person” not a “citizen” and therefore above the law and no longer subject to government force. It would be great to go about doing as you please with no regard to man’s law, claiming you’re serving God when, by the way, scripture tells us to obey those in authority over us (and, yes, you could insist no one has authority over you). But, I want you to WIN in court! You will not win if you refuse to learn the rules and how to use the rules to get justice legally. You will not win if you show up in court with silver-bullet methods to “get around the law”. Sure, once in awhile someone skips out of a busy traffic court by getting the judge exasperated with internet legal mythology, but I’ve been to court more than a few times since 1986 when I was first sworn in (and not to any British agency, by the way!) as a member of the Florida Bar. I’ve seen judges get exasperated and let people off scott-free. I’ve seen many more escorted by the bailiff to a cell where they were left to decide if they wished to be subject to the official rules. You choose. We all have that choice. It’s our prerogative in this wonderful nation. Go to court with legal mythology sold by those who wish you to believe you are “above the law of the land”, or go to court knowing how to use the official rules to get Justice the American Way … according to law! In 24 hours with my affordable, official Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” step-by-step self-help course you will know how to command judges and stop crooked lawyers in their tracks! It’s not mythology! It’s all based on official rules YOU can use to get justice by demanding everyone follow the rules! That’s what too many American Heros died to give you!

How to Cite Controlling Law
Jones v. Smith, 287 So.2d 145 (Fla. 4th DCA, 1998)
Do you want to win in court? You must learn citation rules! What are all those numbers? What do they mean? Does it seem complicated? It’s really simple. Simple, that is, once you see how we explain it for you. I’l tell you a few things today in this Tips & Tactics and leave the rest for you to learn with my affordable, official, 24-hour Jurisdictionary“How to Win in Court” step-by-step self-help course. The first part is easy, of course. The names of the parties are separated with a “v.” This means “versus” (as you already know), just as it will be Yankees v. Boston Red Sox in the 2011 World Series. Right? There may be other parties (more than just “Jones” and “Smith” in the fight) but a citation is still good if it names the prominent parties. Now, what about “287 So. 2d 543”? This is also simple (just like everything I explain in my affordable,official, 24-hour Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” step-by-step self-help course you should order today, if you haven’t already). The first number is the page where the “Jones v. Smith” written appellate court opinion appears. Tough? Not at all. It’s just a page number. Nothing more. See? It’s easy! And, “So.2d”? That’s just an abbreviation for a particular set of books known as “reporters” (i.e., books that “report” opinions of appellate court justices that control trial judges and their lower level decisions). In this example it stands for the “Second Edition” of the Southern Reporter. These contain written opinions of appellate courts in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. A complete set of the Southern Reporter, Second Edition will cost you around $14,566 but you don’t need to buy all those books once you know what I teach in my affordable, official, 24-hour Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” step-by-step self-help course. And that’s just the Second Edition. If your case were in one of these states (before the internet) you’d have to have access to the First and Third Editions. And, in addition (no pun intended) you’d need nearly $50,000 worth of National Reporters to have complete access to all federal cases, including U.S. Supreme Court cases, to be “in the know”. Ahhh. How sweet the internet, because today we have access to all of this for pennies … and it’s all searchable using Boolean operators(also explained in my course). Alright, what about “(Fla. 4th DCA, 1998)”? That’s even easier! The case is clearly in the appellate courts of Florida. It is from the Fourth District Court of Appeal (operating from West Palm Beach). The case was decided in 1998. See? I do know how to make this stuff easy! Right? Who said law is too hard for pro se people to learn? If someone said that to you, it’s probably because they just didn’t know that my course exists and is affordable! YOU WILL LOSE … if you don’t learn how to cite “legal authority” as explained clearly in my official step-by-step, 24-hour Jurisdictionary“How to Win in Court” course! The only opinions that count in court are the recorded opinions of appellate justices who stand in judgment over trial level judges and have power to reverse them if they disagree with the appellate courts’ decisions in any way! Your opinions of law count for nothing in court. You must know how to (1) find appellate court opinions that control your judge and (2) know how to properly cite those cases in the papers you file and the statements you make in open court. Show the judge the law so he knows the appellate court will reverse his decision if he rules against YOU! This is how smart pro se people win! |

How to Fight Fraud
Today’s Tips & Tactics will help all of you who are fighting banks, credit card companies, and anyone else who fraudulently claims you owe them money! If you’re an honest person being sued by a dishonest creditor, today’s Tips & Tactics may save you a load of cash … if you do things the way you’ll learn in myofficial affordable 24-hour step-by step Jurisdictionary self-help course! There’s a reason for the phrase, “Put it in writing!” Every jurisdiction we know of adopts a common law principle known as the “Statute of Frauds” so people wishing to sue you for any promise they say you made to them must offer written evidence of that promise …signed by you! No writing, no lawsuit. It could be a mortgage, promissory note, lease, credit card application, or any other promise they say you made. In some states, if the promise was to perform some service that was to be performed in less than one year, or to pay less than $500 for some item like a lawn mower or bicycle, no writing is required … but if the promise was for more than a year or more than a small amount of money, the Statute of Frauds bars the lawsuitif there is no writing signed by you! So, what’s the first thing you do when you’re sued for a promise you did not make?You demand to see the original writing that bears your signature! How do you do that? You use what’s called a Request for Production. The other side has a certain time period within which to comply. If they don’t produce (and many times they’ll put up some bogus objection) you file a Motion to Compel Production and set your motion for hearing. If you do this the way we teach in our 24-hour step-by-step Jurisdictionary self-help course, the judge will ORDER them to produce … and if they fail to obey the order their case will be dismissed! You do not use a subpoena to get documents from the opposing party. You use a Request for Production, and you can use it to get other things as well, if they will likely lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Help Your Friends! I explain in the Jurisdictionary course how a client came to me after being sued by Sears for a credit card debt. He told me he never had a Sears card, so I served the plaintiff with a Request for Production demanding to see “every document signed by the defendant”. Sears had 30 days to respond. On the 29th day I got a call from Sears’ lawyer saying they couldn’t find any documents signed by my client and asking for an extension of time. I refused. The case was dismissed. Because of the present economic crisis, some judges make an effort to lean favorably toward creditors who come to court without sufficient evidence. If you don’t know what we teach in the Jurisdictionary course, you might find yourself on the short end of a long judgment against you for a debt you truly do not owe. It’s happening far too frequently. Of course the practice of requiring the other side to prove their case (using Requests for Production and your other powerful evidence discovery tools) is a practice you cannot afford to ignore. Proof is what lawsuits are all about. Learn how to prove your position … and how to force the other side to prove theirs! Losers believe in fables and get their legal education at the barbershop or expensive weekend seminars or websites 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 prevent fraud. 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 of due process, but it doesn’t tell you what due process is or how to get it! Jurisdictionary was created by a lawyer with more than 23 years of experience winning lawsuits! Winners learn the rules of evidence, the rules of procedure, and how to use the rules to control corrupt judges and overcome crooked lawyers. Learn how to protect yourself! People who have our course tell us an average 8th grader can understand it all in a single weekend. The complete 4-CD course is still only $249. If you have a lawyer, you can save thousands in legal fees just by knowing what the lawyer should be doing to win. If you don’t have a lawyer, you’ll know how to stop the opponent’s crooked tactics and get the judge on your side! The key to winning is knowing how to use the rules!
