Innovative Solution to Closure of Camden Public Library’s Main Branch May Point the Way for Struggling County Law Libraries

The downtown “branch” of New Jersey’s Camden City Public Library was closed in February when Mayor Dana Redd decided the city could no longer afford its 100-year-old public library system while facing a $26.5 million budget deficit. “As soon as…

Why do people go to court without first learning the rules of the game and how to use them to win?
02
Jun
Those who don’t want to spend a few hours to learn a few rules and how to use them to win shouldn’t complain when they lose. Most of you who are sports fans know at least a few of the rules of your favorite sport, yet very few (who don’t have my course) have made any real effort to learn the rules of the game we call litigation! You wouldn’t think of arguing with a referee or umpire if you didn’t know the rules of the game.
People who use my course are winning!
The rules of baseball are far more complicated than the rules of court, yet nobody told you! So, if you’re like most people, you probably fear the courts and the high costs associated with hiring a lawyer … when all the while you could be learning how to use the simple rules of evidence and rules of procedure that are far, far easier to learn than the official rules of baseball, football, soccer, and many other games 8th graders are smart enough to learn!
The federal rules of evidence are only 16 pages!
So, why weren’t you told?
Why weren’t your children told?
Who is hiding the truth so they can make more money?
USE YOUR COMMON SENSE AND STOP LOSING!
The challenge for you (and everyone else seeking justice in our courts) is your willingness to learn how to use that power by spending 24 hours studying my popular course!
You have real power to get Justice in America!
Too many complain their rights are being violated, while those same people refuse to learn how to use the power of due process and its rules to overcome their opponent, control the court, and force judges to grant them justice! Such people spend too much time complaining and too little time learning! Because they do not know the rules or how to use them effectively, they lose … needlessly!
It is NOT DIFFICULT to learn!
Lawsuits are nothing more than contests about facts that tend to prove or disprove the essential “elements” of what we call “causes of action” (explained in my course). Once you understand the elements, what a cause of action is, and how to control the evidence, you are on your way to victory.
If you don’t understand these things, you cannot win!
Do nothing in your case until you identify the elements!
Do nothing in your case until you understand the causes of action at play.
Do nothing in your case until you learn how to use your five discovery tools to get your evidence in and keep your opponent’s evidence out!
There’s much more to it than I can tell in Tips & Tactics newsletters, of course, so order my popular, case-winning, 4-CD, affordable, step-by-step, 24-hour Jurisdictionary course everyone is talking aboutand start winning today!
With such powerful Rules to win your case, why not learn how to use them effectively?
Order my popular, affordable, official 24-hour course and empower yourself today with Jurisdictionary know-how.
Order NOW, if you don’t already have my course. And, if you do have my course, tell everyone to order so they can start winning, instead of losing and complaining.
My official Jurisdictionary course explains the rules of litigation in an easy-to-learn format people tell us an 8th grader can learn, understand, and use in just 24 hours!
That’s why my course is so amazingly popular!
Chances are someone told you about the course and encouraged you to visit my website.
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.
If you don’t know what the “elements” of your case are, or you don’t know what the “elements” of your opponent’s case are, then STOP NOW AND LEARN WHILE YOU HAVE TIME TO LEARN AND NOT LOSE!
The details are explained in my course, of course.
If you think you can waltz into court with some legal argument and no admissible evidence to back up your argument (instead of doing things the way I explain in my popular course) you’ll be sadly disappointed when you lose … unnecessarily.
YOU MUST LEARN THE ELEMENTS OF THE GAME!
Doing anything in your case before you understand the rules, the “elements”, and your 5 discovery tools, is plain stupid.
The key to winning is knowing the causes of action, the “elements” and how to get facts that lead to admissible evidence that tends to prove or disprove those elements!
Yes! It really is this simple!
That’s why my course is so popular!
My course shows you how to identify the elements and how to get the evidence to prove or disprove them.
THIS IS HOW YOU WIN ! ! !
Nothing else matters!
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 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.
Why be hoodwinked or caught behind an 8-ball by your lack of knowledge about the rules, the elements, and how to get evidence to prove the elements?
Get my official Jurisdictionary course now (if you aren’t one of the thousands of winners who already have its case-winning power.
What you seek with all five (5) of your discovery tools (explained fully in my affordable Jurisdictionary course) is evidence in support of 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 unchallengeable right to get evidence that tends to prove the elements of your case and to disprove the elements of your opponent’s case.
Everything else is a waste of time!
Evidence + Legal Authority = Victory in Court!
But, if you don’t know how to get evidence, you lose!
If you don’t understand how and when to use your five discovery tools (especially depositions) you cannot win!
Learning all this is easy with my popular, affordable, 24-hour, step-by-step, case-winning, official Jurisdictionary 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 opponents using 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!
Learn from the leader!

What Were/Are We Fighting For ?
30
May
| What are we asked to remember on Memorial Day?
I have a T-shirt that says, “Freedom is not Free!” It’s true! But! Can blood alone purchase liberty for us? Does war promote peace by war alone? Surely those who gave their lives (or arms and legs and eyes and more) in the struggle of violence to overcome all enemies of individual rights should be remembered today! Had those we honor today not valiantly opposed others hell-bent on ruling the world with “another vision”, we’d be living in an entirely different world … probably without any of the liberties you and I enjoy today. But! What were/are we fighting for if it is not for a system of law-and-order that protects the innocent and honors the rights of us “individuals”versus a so-called “public policy” that twists Justice to favor the demands of money and corrupt political influence? Surely we are not so naive as to believe we can enjoy the blessings of liberty without a system of law-and-order that protects us all … right down to “the least of these”, as Jesus said it long ago! The “least of these” was His way of asking us to care for those who have no money or political influence. I mention “the least of these” not in a “religious sense”, but as a mind-jolter for us to remember why those killed and wounded fought and why some continue to fight! It was not to preserve our flag, but for what our flag is supposed to stand for! It was not to overcome an armed foe, but to protect us from a system of government rule that would ignore “due process and the Rule of Law”. It was not to defeat tyranny, but to protect a nation of ideas and legal principles where The People come first! Oh, my dear friends. You’ve been so faithful to us these past 14 years since we launched Jurisdictionary. My words can never tell how much we appreciate your encouraging calls and emails when the small effort we’ve made for you has turned to your advantage in your warfare of lawsuits and other courtroom battles where Liberty ultimately must be preserved by LAW. Pray the Great Architect of this Universe protect those in harm’s way for our sakes … but pray, too, for that way of life in which each of you have great power to demand Justice in our courts, to overcome money and political influence by a method given to you by those who suffered and died for you, to perpetuate a wonderful way of life for your children and future generations threatened by their own lack of knowledge about their power in courthouses that must be made to work hand-in-hand with the power of our military might! My wife Kathryn and I and our entire family wish you and yours the very most pleasant Memorial Day this year and ask only that youremember what we are fighting for and that blood alone cannot preserve our Liberties. I call on each of you to teach as many as you can that INK wisely used must honor the spilled BLOOD! Please, dear friends. Consider what I say to you today! Without the wise use of words, ideas, rules of justice, and law that protects the innocent, vast oceans of blood can never secure for us a world of peace, prosperity, and personal liberty. I call on YOU to urge everyone to learn what the ones we honor today freely gave their sacrifice to protect! Learn how to use your own ink to truly honor the blood they spilled for you and me! Learn the principles and practices of Justice! Demand that your leaders honor the maxims of our traditional principles of common law! Demand that your judges and lawyers obey the law that makes your Liberty possible! And, please don’t imagine for a moment that sending out thousands of emails or parading in the streets will save the system of law that must in the long run protect us all. YOU MUST LEARN THE RULES OF JUSTICE IF THEY ARE TO BE PROTECTED FROM THE RICH AND POWERFUL WHO WISH TO TWIST THOSE RULES FOR THEIR OWN GAIN ! Only by getting involved in the honorable fight with words can we hope to protect the peace and secure Liberty and Justice for ALL ! Politics has its place … but it is not enough! Military force has its place … but it is not enough! YOU HAVE POWER TO COMMAND GOVERNMENT BY USE OF OUR COURT SYSTEM! Learn how to use YOUR power in the fight for truth! You have power to control your neighbors, big business, even the ever-increasing annoyance of splinter groups who whine and complain about non-essentials at the expense of the rest of us rank-and-file Americans! Remember and honor those who gave so much so you could enjoy this day in peace and liberty. But! Do not forget what they fought for and continue to fight for on foreign soil and here at home! Ink and Blood. Blood and Ink. Our peace cannot endure without them both. If you are not called this day to the field of honor, to be in harm’s way for the sake of others, then do your part by learning how to USE YOUR INK TO FIGHT FOR JUSTICE! Together, with wisdom and mercy on our side, we can keep the Lamp burning as long as the earth stands! And, who knows? Perhaps future generations will look back to what YOU did to make the world safer for them! … Dr. Frederick D. Graves, JD ======================= |
You will lose your case if you don’t cite “legal authority!”
The only opinions that count in court are the written opinions of appellate court justices who stand in judgment of trial level judges and have power to reverse them if they disagree with appellate decisions in any way!
Your opinions (no matter how clever or persuasive) count for nothing in court.
You must clearly show the judge on the record by citing official legal authorities from appellate decisions, exactly what will happen if the judge rules against you!
This is how smart lawyers win in court.
Stupid lawyers are afraid of judges, afraid to threaten appeal, so they lose … routinely!
Clever argument is not enough.
Knowing the law is not enough.
Even having all the evidence is not enough!
Controlling judges is what wins lawsuits!
You control judges by making clear on the record what higher level appellate courts have ruled in the past, what opinions those higher courts have passed down, and why the higher courts will reverse the trial judge’s orders if he rules contrary to what the appellate courts require.
Read the testimonials ⇒
You must provide citations to official legal authority in motions, memoranda, objections, and verbal arguments at hearings and at trial (if you don’t win before trial using the easy-to-learn methods we teach in my affordable step-by-step official Jurisdictionary course).
You must tell the judge why you should win – by citing official legal authorities the judge is required to obey:
- court rules,
- constitutional provisions,
- statutes,
- codes, and
- most importantly the opinions of higher courts that clarify what those rules, constitutional provisions, statutes, and codes really mean!
What you think they mean doesn’t count!
Trust me! I’ve been at this for 25 years!
How you choose to read and interpret the law doesn’t count a bit … not even a tiny bit!
The only thing that counts is how the appellate courts read and interpret the law, and what they say the law means in regard to the facts of your case.
The other side will cite legal authorities for their case.
You must do the same … if you want to win.
If you’ve wandered through a law library in search of legal authority, you were probably amazed to find crowded shelves stuffed with volumes of similar-looking books, differing only by the mysterious numbers printed on their spines. Books that give no hint which one might hide the key to unlock the judge’s favor in your case. In a well-stocked law library there are thousands of books.
You cannot possibly read them all to find what you seek, and even the indexes, appendices, and annotations are a complex nightmare that requires years of experience to master.
On the other hand, on-line legal research is easy.
We show you how to do it in our official course.
Learn how to use on-line legal research and how to cite case-winning legal authority in my affordable step-by-step 24-hour official Jurisdictionary self-help course!
Know how to control the judge – or you will lose!

When “The Law” Breaks the Law!
Read carefully what I tell you today!
The Wild West was won by a small number of folks smart enough to bring along:
They settled lawless cowtowns like Tombstone and Dodge City – not with faster guns and bigger fists, but with popular support of the local townsfolk who believed in the principles of Justice found in those two books: the Bible and Blackstone.
Each of you faces the threat of similar lawlessness.
Yes, even today!
Yes, perhaps especially today!
It may be a bank using fraud to foreclose on your home.
Or, a corrupt business partner, ex-spouse, or next-door neighbor out-of-control.
For many of you, it’s the threat of government officials refusing to follow the law – tax collectors, police officers, and worst of all corrupt judges who allow fraud to prevail.
When “the law” is an outlaw, there’s only one remedy.
The Rules!
I’ll bet you didn’t know the Federal Rules of Evidence are only 16 pages … the very same rules of evidence that control every federal judge, every lawyer arguing in federal court, every giant corporation suing you or being sued by you in federal court, and every government agency trying to pull the wool over your eyes to rob you of your rights,because you don’t yet know the rules as you need to know them …how to use the rules to stop corruption!
State court rules are just as simple and powerful!
Your legal problems today can be solved the same way those western settlers brought lawlessness to its knees in the prairies and remote mountain communities west of the Mississippi more than one-hundred years ago.
The Rules stop lawlessness, once you know how to use the rules to control corrupt judges and crooked lawyers so you can get Justice!
The Rules of Evidence and Rules of Procedure are your protection from lawless legal officials, crooked lawyers, and corrupt judges …Rules that are very easy to learn with my popular, affordable, 24-hour Jurisdictionary step-by-step self-help course!
You have a remedy at law … if you know how to use it.
If a fraudulent lender, bill collector, tax man, corrupt judge, crooked lawyer, or anyone else uses unlawful force to deprive you or your family of your rights, you have a powerful remedy!
THE RULES OF COURT!
The Rules of Evidence and Procedure RULE the courts!
This is true only for those who know how to use them!
Those who know how to use the rules can easily control everyone by the court, in court, and through the court. Parties, judge, lawyers – all are subject to the rules and must obey the rules when you know how to use the rules effectively.
The rules control courts just as surely as the rules of baseball control ball players and umpires!
The Rules of Court are the People’s power to control our government and command our leaders to protect us and redress our grievances with court orders that command even those in the highest offices, the richest of the rich, the biggest of the big.
The Rules are what makes America great!
The Rules are what make YOU POWERFUL!
Yes, even as an individual doing battle with a powerful bank or the county commissioners or a state-supported hospital or an ex-spouse who wants to take you to the proverbial cleaners, YOU HAVE POWER TO WIN BECAUSE THE RULES GIVE YOU THAT POWER.
The Rules are what the 4th of July is all about!
The Rules give every one of us not only the “right to enjoy our rights” but “power to enforce our rights”!
Liberty and Justice are for ALL who know the Rules!
The Rules give you power to (1) make a public record of your grievance, (2) force opponents to answer questions and produce documents and things under oath, (3) force judges to act lawfully, (4) require everyone in court to act lawfully, and (5) have people sent directly to jail if they don’t comply with the rules!
Bet you didn’t know you had that much power!
But, you do have this power … all of you do!
Once you know the Rules of Court and how to use them effectively the way I make easy-to-learn with my 24-hour step-by-step official Jurisdictionary course, nobody will ever again kick sand in your face!
Nobody ever again will rob you under color of law.
Nobody ever again will abuse you and get away with it!
If you don’t yet know what I teach, you cannot imagine how much fun it is to force people to do what’s right by using the rules against them – whether it’s your opponent, some crooked highly-paid lawyer, or even a judge!
Being an American has real advantages!
Everyone gets to use the Rules to stop foreclosure.
Everyone gets to use the Rules to prevent financial loss due to fraud, breach of contract, or unlawful acts.
Everyone gets to use the Rules to see their own children after an ugly divorce!
Everyone gets to use the Rules to command government leaders to either justify their actions by law or back off!
That’s how the West was won!
That’s how you will win once you know what I teach in my popular, 24-hour, step-by-step Jurisdictionary self-help course.
It’s affordable. Less than what it will cost you to sit and chat with a lawyer for one brief hour … and you will learn what it takes to control lawyers: other people’s and your own, if you have one!
I wish I could have been the lawyer who questioned Bill Clinton when he smarted-off with that famous response, “Depends on what you mean by ‘is’.”
What a blast it would have been explaining he was for the duration of that deposition no longer President of the United States. He was being deposed. For that hour or two he had no privileges to ignore the law that binds the rest of us. If he persisted in not answering myquestions with proper responses, I’d have stopped the deposition and moved the court for an order to show why he should not be held in contempt for failing to answer according to the Rules that control every one of us in America!
If he continued to refuse after being ordered to show cause, I’d have moved the court for an order finding him in contempt and jailing him until he agreed to answer me with proper responses according to the Rules!
These are the Rules our Founding Fathers pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor to protect.
You may ask, “Do you mean I can have the President of the United States jailed for refusing to answer questions at a deposition?”
Yep!
That’s YOUR POWER!
That’s the power that belongs to every American who will take just 24 hours to learn how to use the Rules of Court to their advantage!
And, once you have POWER TO CONTROL THE COURT, you have power to control the executive branch of our government (state and federal), the legislative branch of our government (state and federal), your local politicians, your local school board, the bank or mortgage company that’s using fraud to foreclose on your home, the liar who slandered you to an employer, the ex-spouse who’s trying to get revenge, the doctor who failed to properly diagnose your illness, your next door neighbor whose tree fell on your roof, and anyone and everyone else who injures you!
Once you know the rules the way I explain so easily an 8th grader can learn, understand, and use in just 24 hours, you have the power every American should seek!
Justice doesn’t fall from the sky.
Justice doesn’t grow on trees.
Justice is a prize that can be won by those who know how to win!
Knowing how to use the Rules is how you win!
Don’t take “no” for an answer.
Don’t just roll over when the other side objects to your requests for production or ignores your interrogatories.
Don’t give up when the other side cites some bogus case that has nothing to do with the issues in your pleadings.
Use the Rules and tame that Wild West spirit that too often takes advantage of those who don’t yet know what I make so easy-to-understand in my popular and affordable 24-hour official step-by-step Jurisdictionary self-help course.

What do you have to lose?
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 or how to use them to control the court.
Jurisdictionary was created by me to help you with the knowledge and practical experience I gained in 25 years of practicing law in state and federal courts.
Take advantage of what I learned about holding judges’ feet to the fire, devastating crooked lawyers with incisive discovery weapons, getting truth out of liars and frauds.
Protect yourself from courtroom corruption!
If you have a lawyer, you will save thousands in legal fees just by knowing what your lawyer should be doing to earn his or her fees andwin your case instead of bowing and scraping before the judge like many lawyers do!
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!
That’s how you win!
