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.

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.

You need to know this stuff … if you want to win!

Getting Evidence – Part Three

08 Sep


In the past two Tips & Tactics I touched on how to use “Interrogatories” and “Requests for Admissions” to get evidence into the court’s record so you can win.

In this Tips & Tactics I tell why you must learn how to use “Requests for Production” effectively.

There’s much more to it than I can tell in Tips & Tactics, of course, so you need to order my amazingly popular, case-winning, 4-CD, affordable, step-by-step, 24-hour official Jurisdictionary course everyone is talking about … and start winning today!

Requests for Production MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

If you know how to use them effectively, that is.

Both plaintiffs and defendants can use them to force an opponent to PRODUCE both documents and things of any kind, provided the documents and things requested are “reasonably calculated to lead to discovery of admissible evidence”.

That last quote is the key to all discovery of evidence. You mustremember that during the discovery phase of a lawsuit, facts sought need not be admissible at trial, if they are reasonably likely to lead to admissible evidence. Lawyers will try to “hide the ball”. Don’t let them. Learn the rules and use my amazingly popular, case-winning, 4-CD, affordable, step-by-step, 24-hour official Jurisdictionary course to know how to “use the rules” to protect yourself from the crooked, deceitful games many lawyers play!

The most common use of requests for production is to force opponents to let you examine documents, but if what you seek is “reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence”, you can require them to let you examine a toothbrush or an airplane engine or the medical instruments used to perform surgery on your knee!

Most commonly, however, what you want to see is the other side’s documents:

  1. Mortgage,
  2. Promissory Note,
  3. Credit card charge slips signed by you,
  4. Accounting statements,
  5. Cancelled checks,
  6. Phone records,
  7. Etcetera

There are quite a lot of pitfalls you must overcome or avoid if you wish to succeed with this discovery tool and win your lawsuit. In my 25 years as a case-winning lawyer, the most frequent problems I encountered (and where I learned a great deal that makes my course so valuable) was in the process of getting the other side to turn over documents and things for me to examine prior to trial.

Lawyers will put up every roadblock they can think of to keep you from “discovering” the documents and things that will give you the victory in your case. They’ll object. They will drag their feet. They’ll put everything you want in one big bankers box and leave you to sort through it all to find what you need. They will claim you shouldn’t be allowed to see certain things on the grounds that they are “trade secrets” or protected by attorney-client privilege. In my quarter-century in this business, I’ve seen it all … in all its nasty, deceitful, and treacherously creative forms.

You cannot win if you cannot force the other side to properly respond to your discovery requests!

Order my 4-CD, step-by-step, 24-hour official course, and empower yourself with Jurisdictionary know-how.

For example, if you serve your opponent with a request for production of their banking records, and they respond with their standard baloney (“objection, overbroad, unduly burdensome, not likely to lead to admissible evidence”), it is 100% certain there’s a reason why they don’t want you to see those records.

So, if you don’t know how to draft your requests in the effective way I teach in my course, and you don’t know how to force the judge to order them to produce, you might as well give up the fight now. You cannot win!

My official Jurisdictionary course explains all this in an easy-to-learn format people tell us an average 8th grader can understand and use. That’s why my course is so very amazingly popular! Chances are someone told you about the course and encouraged you to visit my website.

Listen at www.RuleOfLawRadio.com (or local radio station) Monday 7-9 p.m EST for Jurisdictionary “God, Government, and the Gospel Mystery”. You can even call-in with questions or comments!

Be clever. Think through the elements of your position (plaintiff or defendant) and sort out the essential facts you need to prove from those you don’t need to prove.

Use requests for production to prove the facts alleged in yourpleadings and to dis-prove the facts alleged in your opponent’s pleadings.

Learn this NOW and overcome your enemies!

The details are explained in my course, of course.Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

If you think you can waltz into court with “your own copies” of the papers you think are admissible evidence (instead of doing what I teach in my course, i.e., using requests for production to force the other side to produce those documents so they can’t object about authenticity or chain of evidence or make some other bogus complaint to keep you from seeing them) you’ll be sadly disappointed when at the very last minute, in the heated battle of trial, the other side succeeds with a motion to exclude your papers from evidence, and you lose … unnecessarily.

YOU MUST LEARN HOW TO USE THIS TOOL!

For very little money and about 24 hours of your time, you can know what it takes to control crooked lawyers and get your evidence admitted to the record so you can WIN!

You are entitled to get evidence into the court record! Rule 26 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires disclosure, as do all state courts. So, why be hoodwinked or caught behind an 8-ball by your lack of knowledge about rules and what they require of opponents?

Get my official Jurisdictionary course now (if you aren’t one of the thousands of winners who already have it and its case-winning knowledge-power.

What you seek with all five (5) of your discovery tools (explained fully in my affordable Jurisdictionary course) is evidence in support of the “ultimate facts” that tend to prove the allegations of your position and disprove those of your opponent … nothing more, please!

Don’t let lawyers trick you!

You have an unquestioned right to get evidence tending to prove facts you alleged in your pleadings and disprove facts alleged in your opponent’s pleadings.

Everything else is a waste of time!

Evidence + Legal Authority = Victory in Court!

If you don’t know how to get evidence, you lose!

If you don’t understand the “elements” of lawsuits, you cannot hope to win!

Learning how is easy with my affordable, case-winning, official Jurisdictionary step-by-step, 24-hour course. If you don’t already have my course, NOW is the time to order and start learning how to avoid legal trickery so you can win your case and overcome your opponent using the official rules … instead of internet legal mythology!

You cannot win if you don’t know how to get evidence into the record using your five discovery tools and what I teach you about how to overcome crooked lawyers!

Clever argument is not enough.

Arguing “your rights” were violated is not enough.

Complaining about the Constitution is not enough.

Those who haven’t yet learned how to get evidence go to court with the idea they “already have all the evidence they need”. I hear this over and over again. People think because they have a copy of a document or photograph or audio recording that they’re sure to win. Then, when they get to trial (when it’s too late to do any more discovery) they “discover” all the stuff they thought was “evidence” is inadmissible at trial!

Why lose when it’s so easy to learn how to win?

Everyone is talking about Jurisdictionary.

People tell their friends.

People promote it on their websites.

People talk about it on social networking sites.

People blog about it and praise its power in emails.

Why?

Because Jurisdictionary works!

That’s why!

Don’t be left holding an empty evidence bag!

The decision to win is a decision to learn how to win!

Winners know how to get evidence!

My 25 years as a case-winning lawyer licensed in state and federal courts has shown me this.

Evidence wins lawsuits!

If you don’t know how to “get it”, you cannot win!

My Jurisdictionary course will show you much more about how to effectively use all your five discovery tools to get case-winning evidence into the record and force your opponent to stop “hiding the ball”!

Order Now! before the price increase and before your opponent takes advantage of your not knowing how to find evidence and get it in the court’s record!

Winning is fun!

Losing is for losers!

Order Now!

Winning is easy if you do what I teach in my course!

I know what it takes to win. I practiced law nearly 25 years. I can help you, if you’re willing to learn from me!

Pro se people often do not get justice.

Why?

Let’s examine a few facts:

  1. Most pro se people don’t know the rules.
  2. Most pro se people don’t know how to prevent the lawyer on the other side from playing tricks with the rules.
  3. Most pro se people make assumptions about what is “admissible evidence” and stuff that isn’t.
  4. Most pro se people don’t know how to draft their pleadings or motions properly.
  5. Most pro se people don’t know why it’s important to write proposed orders for the judge to sign.
  6. Most pro se people don’t know why, when, or how to make effective objections in court.
  7. Most pro se people don’t understand what facts are critical to winning a case and what facts are of no consequence but only muddy the waters with court-confusing insignificance.
  8. Most pro se people don’t know why it’s so vitally important to cite controlling appellate cases in support of their pre-trial and trial motions.
  9. Most pro se people don’t know how to arrange for a written transcript to be made of all proceedings before the court, so they can control the judge.
  10. Most pro se people waste valuable court time with non-essentials, fail to appreciate the needs of others who have their own problems to bring before the court and, as a consequence, tend to make judges dread pro se cases.

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!


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.

But! You must know how to protect yourself!

Pro se parties who know the rules and how to use them to protect themselves from courtroom corruption the way my Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course makes so easy-to-understand don’t let crooked lawyers get away with their smoke-and-mirrors tricks!

It does no good to complain after losing.

The difference between winners and losers is the fact that winners learn how 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, the rules of procedure, and the tactics and strategies my course is so popular for making easy to learn, and you will 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 prepare orders, write powerful pleadings, draft and argue motions, object in court, get admissible evidence into the record, prevent the other side from getting lies into the record, do legal research, 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!

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.

Sad, but true!

Most lawyers never learn what Jurisdictionary makes so easy-to-learn.

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.


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.

Getting Evidence – Part Two

06 Sep

Here are some tips on how to use “Requests for Admissions” to get evidence into the court’s record so you can win.

There’s a lot more to it than I can tell in a single Tips & Tactics, of course, so order my  amazingly popular, case-winning, 4-CD, affordable, step-by-step, 24-hour official      Jurisdictionary course everyone is talking about and start winning today!

Requests for Admissions are POWERFUL!

If you know how to use them properly, that is.

Both plaintiffs and defendants can use them to force their opponent to ADMIT the truth of facts stated in the request or the genuineness of documents attached to the request.

If your opponent fails to respond to your requests for admissions before the deadline, you can move the court for an order deeming everything admitted for all purposes!

Warning: If you receive a request for admissions, do not fail to respond before the deadline!

Requests for admissions are like leading questions!

You can force opponents to admit they don’t have the original signed promissory note or mortgage, for example, and they have a certain period of time to respond or face the prospect of having the court enter an order deeming such facts admitted for all purposes.

You can force opponents to admit they lack first-hand knowledge of facts alleged in their pleadings.

You can even force opponents to admit the document attached to your request as Exhibit A, for example, is an essentially accurate copy of some document that might be difficult to get into evidence without their admission.

My official Jurisdictionary course explains all this in an easy-to-learn format people tell us an average 8th grader can understand and use. That’s why my course is so very amazingly popular! Chances are someone told you about the course and encouraged you to visit my website.

Listen at www.RuleOfLawRadio.com (or local radio station) Monday 7-9 p.m EST for Jurisdictionary “God, Government, and the Gospel Mystery”. You can even call-in with questions or comments!

Be clever. Think through the elements of your position (plaintiff or defendant) and sort out the essential facts you need to prove from those you don’t need to prove.

Save requests for admissions for essential facts that take advantage of the unique power of this discovery tool.

In most jurisdictions, you are limited to a certain number of requests for admissions, so use them sparingly!

The details are explained in my course, of course.

In most courts, objections to requests for admissions are not allowed. Your opponent must either admit or deny, and that’s good for you!

They cannot merely respond, “Objection, overbroad, burdensome, not calculated to lead to admissible evidence, seeks to inquire into attorney-client privilege,” etc., etc., etc. They must admit or deny before the deadline!

If they fail to respond before the deadline, or if they file some objection, immediately file a “Motion for an Order Deeming Admissions Admitted” and set your motion for hearing!

You are entitled to evidence disclosure! In fact, Rule 26 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires such disclosure, as do the state courts. So, don’t be hoodwinked by your own lack of knowledge about rules and what they require of opponents. Get my official Jurisdictionary course now, if you don’t already have its case-winning power.

And, don’t be fooled by the all-too-common objection, “The facts sought are not admissible at trial.”

They don’t have to be admissible at trial!

Rules of evidence discovery are different from rules that control at trial.

Rule 26(b) Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides, “Parties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party’s claim or defense — including the existence, description, nature, custody, condition, and location of any documents or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons who know of any discoverable matter. For good cause, the court may order discovery of any matter relevant to the subject matter involved in the action. Relevant information need not be admissible at the trial if the discovery appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.”

State rules generally follow the federal rule.

What you seek with all five (5) of your discovery tools (explained fully in my affordable Jurisdictionary course) is evidence in support of the “ultimate facts” that tend to prove the allegations of your position and disprove those of your opponent … nothing more, please!

Don’t let lawyers trick you!

You have an unquestioned right to find evidence that tends to prove the facts you alleged in your pleadings and disprove the facts alleged in your opponent’s pleadings.

Everything else is a waste of time!

Evidence + Legal Authority = Victory in Court!

If you don’t know how to find evidence, you lose!

If you don’t understand the “elements” of lawsuits, you cannot hope to win!

Learning how is easy with my affordable, case-winning, official Jurisdictionary step-by-step, 24-hour course. If you don’t already have my course, NOW is the time to order and start learning how to avoid legal trickery so you can win your case and overcome your opponent using the official rules … instead of internet legal mythology!

You cannot win if you don’t know how to find evidence and get it into the record using your five discovery tools.

Clever argument is not enough.

Those who haven’t yet learned how to find evidence go to court with the idea they “already have all the evidence they need”. I hear this over and over again. People think because they have a copy of a document or photograph or audio recording that they’re sure to win. Then, when they get to trial (when it’s too late to do any more discovery) they “discover” all the stuff they thought was “evidence” is inadmissible at trial!

Why lose when it’s so easy to learn how to win?

Everyone is talking about Jurisdictionary. People tell their friends. People promote it on their websites and in their emails.

Why?

Because my popular Jurisdictionary course works!

That’s why!

Don’t be left holding an empty evidence bag!

Your decision to win is your decision to learn how!

Winning lawyers know how to find evidence!

My 25 years of experience as a case-winning lawyer licensed in state and federal courts has shown me this.

Evidence wins lawsuits – not Constitutional arguments.

My Jurisdictionary course will show you much more about how to effectively use interrogatories and all your five discovery tools to get case-winning evidence into the record and force your opponent to cooperate!

Order Now! before the price increase and before your opponent takes advantage of your not knowing how to find evidence and get it in the court’s record!

Winning is fun!

Losing is for losers!

Winning is easy if you do what I teach in my course!

I know what it takes to win. I practiced law nearly 25 years. I can help you, if you’re willing to learn from me!

Pro se people often do not get justice.

Why?

Let’s examine a few facts:

Most pro se people don’t know the rules.
Most pro se people don’t know how to prevent the lawyer on the other side from playing tricks with the rules.
Most pro se people make assumptions about what is “admissible evidence” and stuff that isn’t.
Most pro se people don’t know how to draft their pleadings or motions properly.
Most pro se people don’t know why it’s important 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 but only muddy the waters with court-confusing insignificance.
Most pro se people don’t know why it’s so vitally important to cite controlling appellate cases in support of their pre-trial and trial motions.
Most pro se people don’t know how to arrange for a written transcript to be made of all proceedings before the court, 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 their own problems to bring before the court and, as a consequence, tend to make judges dread pro se cases.
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!

 

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 justice according to the rules.

But! You must know how to protect yourself!

Pro se parties who know the rules and how to use them to protect themselves from courtroom corruption the way my Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course makes so easy-to-understand don’t let crooked lawyers get away with their smoke-and-mirrors tricks!

It does no good to complain after losing.

The difference between winners and losers is the fact that winners learn how 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, the rules of procedure, and the tactics and strategies my course is so popular for making easy to learn, and you will 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 prepare orders, write powerful pleadings, draft and argue motions, object in court, get admissible evidence into the record, prevent the other side from getting lies into the record, do legal research, 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!

You may not 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.

Sad, but true!

Most lawyers never learn what Jurisdictionary makes so easy-to-learn. People have been telling me since I started Jurisdictionary in 1997 that, “Your course should be required in first year law school.” But, of course, that’s not likely to happen, because what Jurisdictionary shows you isn’t politically correct! I teach you how to control judges, instead of bowing to them, I I teach you how to overcome crooked lawyers and their all-too-common sneaky tricks!

Political correctness prevents justice too often!

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!

Getting The Evidence For Your Case

30 Aug

 

Getting the Evidence

Evidence is the “stuff” you need to prove your case.

But, how do you find it?

That’s the fun part!

In this mid-week Tips & Tactics I give you a few tips how to use interrogatories to find evidence to win your case. There’s a lot more to it than I can tell you in a few Tips & Tactics, of course, so get the complete picture with my case-winning, affordable, amazingly popular, 4-CD, step-by-step, 24-hour official Jurisdictionary course that everyone is talking about!

Interrogatories are simply written questions that your opponent must answer under oath!

USE THEM WISELY!

USE THEM SPARINGLY!

THEY ARE POWERFUL TOOLS TO FIND EVIDENCE!

But, you only have a limited number to use.

Rule 33 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure states, “Unless otherwise stipulated or ordered by the court, a party may serve on any other party no more than 25 written interrogatories, including all discrete subparts.”

State rules may allow more or less, but most courts put some limit on the number of interrogatories you can use.

So, use them sparingly and wisely – but USE them!

The first interrogatory I serve on opponents reads like this, “Identify all persons having first-hand knowledge of any material fact alleged in the pleadings of this case and, with regard to each such person, state what they know about each such fact and how they came to know it.”

The other side will have a fit!Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

They will respond, “Objection, overbroad, burdensome, not calculated to lead to admissible evidence, seeks to inquire into attorney-client privilege,” etc., etc., etc.

Immediately file a “Motion for Better Answers to Interrogatories” and set your motion for hearing!

You are entitled to evidence disclosure! In fact, Rule 26 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires such disclosure, as do the state courts. So, don’t be hoodwinked by your own lack of knowledge about rules and what they require of opponents.

And, don’t be fooled by the all-too-common objection, “The facts sought are not admissible at trial.”

They don’t have to be admissible at trial!

Rules of evidence discovery are different from rules that control at trial.

Rule 26(b) Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provides, “Parties may obtain discovery regarding any nonprivileged matter that is relevant to any party’s claim or defense — including the existence, description, nature, custody, condition, and location of any documents or other tangible things and the identity and location of persons who know of any discoverable matter. For good cause, the court may order discovery of any matter relevant to the subject matter involved in the action. Relevant information need not be admissible at the trial if the discovery appears reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence.”

State rules generally follow the federal rule.

What you seek with interrogatories (and all your other five discovery tools I explain fully in my case-winning, affordable, amazingly popular, 4-CD, step-by-step, 24-hour official Jurisdictionary course that everyone is talking about) need not be admissible at trial, so long as the facts you seek are “reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence”.

Don’t let lawyers trick you!

You have an unquestioned right to find evidence that will help you prove your case.

Evidence + Legal Authority = Victory in Court!

If you don’t know how to find evidence, you lose!

If you aren’t involved in a lawsuit or threatened with one today, learn what my course teaches and help others who will be destroyed by all-too-common courtroom corruption if YOU don’t help them learn what it takes to win!

There are more than 150 lawsuits filed every minute in the United States – nearly 100 million each year. Try to imagine how many thousands of good, honest people will be destroyed in the next 7 days just because they have no idea how to protect themselves and have nobody they can trust (or afford) to help them win!

Urge everyone to get my affordable 24-hour course!

Do it for your nation … and for your children!

Beware of Legal Mythology!

21 Aug
Lawsuit Self-Help ... Step-by-Step

 
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!
Forward this email end this link to the
Lawsuit Flowchart
so your friends can see how easy it is to win.

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!

The full details you need to know are in my affordable step-by-step Jurisdictionary course.

How to Win the Game of Law

16 Aug
KNOW THIS: There are TWO (2) kinds of law!

If you want to win, you must learn this secret that I share with you in this Jurisdictionary Tips & Tactics!

YOU MUST KNOW BOTH KINDS OF LAW!Win the Game of Law with Jurisdictionary!

Too many of you good folks are losing (or fighting a losing battle you cannot possibly win) because you think you know the “law” and are persuaded from your studies that “the law is on your side”.

But, there are TWO (2) kinds of law!

Even if “the substantive” law is clearly on your side, you will lose if you don’t know the other kind of law!

Most losers never know why they lost.

They blame the judge, blame the system, blame the party on the other side.

Most losers never know they could have won …

… if only they knew BOTH kinds of law!

You may know the law of foreclosure, for example. You may have given the bank or mortgage company all those notices without receiving the replies required by law. You may have made all payments! Perhaps the lender doesn’t even have the mortgage or the note. The “substantive law” is on your side, and you “should” win.

But!

Unless you know both kinds of law, you’ll lose!

You studied the “substantive law” and say, “The law is clearly on my side. The judge will be forced to give me a victory!”

But!

That’s NOT all there is to it!

Your your fight may be about taxes, breach of contract, lost wages, custody of children, or something else — and you may know the “substantive law” pertaining to these things and be able to recite those laws backwards and forwards by memory.

But, if you stop there and rush into court demanding the judge give you a favorable verdict … and will lose!

There are TWO (2) kinds of law!

Both apply to every case.

YOU MUST KNOW BOTH TO WIN!

Just having “the law on your side” is never enough!

Substantive law is the law too many foolishly rush into court with a chip on their shoulder about, demanding that the judge enforce the “substantive law” in their favor.

This is a reasonable assumption, but it’s wrong!

Knowing a bank securitized its promissory notes or that the bank no longer has proof of your debt, for example, is definitely “substantive law on your side”.

But, do you know how to prove these things?

Do you know how to use court procedure?

Do you know how to get evidence into the record?

THIS SECOND KIND OF LAW is EASY TO LEARN!

AND IT IS ESSENTIAL IF YOU WANT TO WIN, BECAUSE YOUR OPPONENT WILL USE THIS SECOND KIND OF LAW TO THROW YOU UNDER THE BUS IF YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO FIGHT BACK!

Assuming just because “the law is on your side” that the judge should give you a victory isn’t smart!Learn from Jurisdictionary step-by-step

You must know what we lawyers call “procedural law” and how to use procedural law to control the judge and your opponent and his lawyers!

  • PROCEDURE
  • EVIDENCE

Procedural law is easy to learn.

It is simply:

  1. Rules of Procedure (less than 50 pages) and
  2. Rules of Evidence (less than 20 pages).

But!

Consider the game of chess.

Imagine three chess players:

  • Player #1 doesn’t yet know the rules of chess
  • Player #2 has memorized the rules but doesn’t know how to use them tactically or strategically
  • Player #3 has been playing chess for 25 years so he not only knows how the pieces move but how to move them to checkmate his opponents

Which kind of player are you?

#1 … You don’t yet know the procedural rules,

#2 … You know the rules but not how to use them, or

#3 … You know the rules AND HOW TO USE THEM TO CONTROL THE JUDGE AND YOUR OPPONENT!

In just 24-hours with my official affordable, step-by-step Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” self-help course you will learn secrets about procedure and evidence rules other members of my profession don’t want you to know!

If you don’t know “how to play the game”, you lose!

Pro se people who use my course are winning in court!

But! Pro se people often do not get justice.

Why?

Consider the following facts:

  1. Most pro se people don’t know the rules or how to use them to win (evidence and procedure rules).
  2. Most pro se people don’t know how to prevent the lawyer on the other side from playing tricks with the rules.
  3. Most pro se people make assumptions about what is “admissible evidence” and stuff that isn’t.
  4. Most pro se people don’t know how to draft their pleadings or motions properly.
  5. Most pro se people don’t know why it’s important to write proposed orders for the judge to sign.
  6. Most pro se people don’t know why, when, or how to make effective objections in court.
  7. Most pro se people don’t understand what facts are critical to winning a case and what facts are of no consequence but only muddy the waters with court-confusing insignificance.
  8. Most pro se people don’t know why it’s so vitally important to cite controlling appellate cases in support of their pre-trial and trial motions.
  9. Most pro se people don’t know how to arrange for a written transcript to be made of all proceedings before the court, so they can control the judge.
  10. Most pro se people waste valuable court time with non-essentials, fail to appreciate the needs of others who have their own problems to bring before the court and, as a consequence, tend to make judges dread pro se cases.

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!


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.

But! You must know how to protect yourself!

Pro se parties who know the rules and how to use them to protect themselves from courtroom corruption the way my Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course makes so easy-to-understand don’t let crooked lawyers get away with their smoke-and-mirrors tricks!

The difference between winners and losers is the fact that winners know how to win and losers cry about it!

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, the rules of procedure, and the tactics and strategies my course is so popular for making easy to learn, and you will 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.


In short, you’ll learn how to save money, maximize your winning power, and resolve conflicts peacefully and profitably … according to the rules!

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.

Most lawyers never learn what Jurisdictionary makes so easy-to-learn. People have been telling me since I started Jurisdictionary in 1997 that, “Your course should be required in first year law school.” But, of course, that’s not likely to happen, because what Jurisdictionary shows you isn’t politically correct! I teach you how to control judges, instead of bowing to them, I I teach you how to overcome crooked lawyers and their all-too-common sneaky tricks!

Political correctness prevents justice too often!

Those who learn my affordable 24-hour step-by-step Jurisdictionary self-help course win … no matter how high the odds are stacked against them!

Winners know how 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.

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!

How to Cite Controlling Law

09 Aug

Jones v. Smith, 287 So.2d 145 (Fla. 4th DCA, 1998)

Do you want to win in court?Shelf of Law Books

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!

Winning in Court Means Learning Not to Lose

04 Aug

How to Lose in Court …
Win with Jurisdictionary!Too many pro se people lose in court, and today’s Tips & Tactics will tell you why!

Pro se people often send me papers to review.

Almost always, they write critically important papers as if they were “telling a story”!

BIG MISTAKE!

Effective lawsuit Complaints and responses to complaints (Answers and Defenses) and motions, legal memoranda, and other papers you must file in court (if you want to win) are not “stories”.

Do NOT tell a story!

For example, consider your pleadings – the first papers you file (whether your filing a Complaint as plaintiff or filing an Answer and Affirmative Defenses as defendant).

Your pleadings are the MOST IMPORTANT PAPERS you will file … SO THEY MUST BE WRITTEN PROPERLY!

Your pleadings say what you’re fighting about!

BUT!

They are not stories or “letters to the judge”.

If you don’t write the way Jurisdictionary teaches, you set yourself up for defeat right out of the box, even before the fight begins!

Pleadings have a purpose.

The purpose of pleadings is NOT TO TELL A STORY!

The same goes for all papers you file in court, motions, memoranda, etc. … but especially for pleadings.

Your Complaint (if you’re a plaintiff”) or Answer and Affirmative Defenses (if you’re a defendant) must be written in so it will accomplish 3 things:

  1. Allege the court has jurisdiction over the issues,
  2. Allege the necessary ultimate facts required to establish your right to a favorable judgment, and
  3. Demand judgment (and jury trial if wished).

You’ll have an opportunity to “tell your story” later with motions, memoranda, and discovery weapons as explained in the official 24-hour, step-by-step Jurisdictionary “How to Win in Court” course !

In more than 25 years as a licensed attorney, I can tell you most lawyers don’t get it … and that works to your advantage once you know what my course will teach you in just 24 hours!

Most lawyers did not learn how to write pleadings in law school. They weren’t taught about the “essential elements of causes of action”, for example. It’s true!

If you draft your papers properly (the Jurisdictionary way , of course)you’ll have a significant advantage over your opponents!

If you “tell a story” you’ll just make it easier for the other side to win!

#1 … Lawyers are famous for chasing rabbits and going on fishing expeditions. They are paid by the hour, after all! The more they write, the more they get paid. You aren’t being paid by the hour. Write little. Accomplish much!

#2 … If you write more than necessary, you give the other side more opportunities to chase rabbits and fish for facts that will not help you win!

#3 … Proving a simple lawsuit is hard enough. The more facts you put in controversy, the more work you have to do.

#4 … It’s just plain stupid (unless you’re being paid by the hour) to allege more facts than the facts you must prove to win?
