Why Winning is Easy
The Tools
How the Court Machine Works
There are five (5) principle tools for winning in court. Each has a specific purpose, and each should be used for its particular purpose and for no other purpose.
Apples are apples. Oranges are not.
Use each tool for the purpose it was designed to do for you. Otherwise, you will shoot yourself in the foot!
You didn’t know it was this easy, but you are beginning to know.
This is how you enforce your God-given rights.
Five (5) tools: pleadings, discovery, memoranda, motions, and orders.
It's not rocket science or differential calculus, and lawyers aren't smarter than you. They may know things you've not yet learned, but you are learning now!
It’s easy when the giant scary idea of "going to court" is first presented, but this Jurisdictionary® course breaks it all down into simple parts anyone who makes an effort can understand, showing you how those simple parts work together to secure Justice for yourself and those you love.
Simplicity is Power
The power of this course is its simplicity! If winning were difficult, this course would not exist.
If you’re suing someone for any reason whatsoever, you allege and prove all the essential fact elements that are required to be alleged and proven by the law of the case.
If you’re being sued, you allege and prove the essential fact elements in your affirmative defense and show the court that your plaintiff has not alleged or cannot prove all the essential fact elements required.
If you’re accused of a crime, you allege and prove that the prosecutor has not alleged or cannot prove the essential fact elements required by the crime in question beyond any reasonable doubt or that there is some "alternative theory" of the alleged facts that casts reasonable doubt on the prosecutor's allegations as to you.
That’s it.
When you get to the nuts & bolts of every case, that’s all there is to it.
Anyone who says otherwise is mistaken or purposely lying to you.
Everything You Need
You don’t need a law degree!
You need just five (5) things:
You don’t need to know everything I learned in three expensive, boring years of law school, because you aren’t going to hang a shingle on your law office door to draft wills, set up corporations, write contracts, attend property closings, or do any of the thousand other things we lawyers do for our clients.
You just need to win a court case.
That doesn’t require knowing all the things we lawyers learn at law school.
This course gives you everything you need so you can win and then get back to living your life again!
The Law of The Case
This was mentioned before, but let's refresh.
The law of the case requires that certain essential fact elements be alleged and proven.
Moreover, many cases are decided by just one law, not dozens of laws.
Essential fact elements depend on what the law is for, who it protects, who has a duty, what constitutes a breach of that duty, and sometimes how the law must reward those who suffer from the breach.
Dog bite laws, for example, decide cases based on essential fact elements like these. They may differ from state to state, but in most states these are included.
Do you see how simple all this is?
The law of your case will be no more complicated than this.
The law of your case will require similar essential fact elements to be alleged and proven.
You win by alleging and proving.
Representing Yourself
You don’t have to be a lawyer to represent yourself.
You cannot represent a corporation, the probate estate of a deceased person, a partnership, or a family member or friend, but you can represent yourself.
We all have a right to represent ourselves in court.
And, we all have a God-given right to know how to do so!
If you choose to hire a lawyer, you need to know what your lawyer must do to win for you (instead of your just paying his amazing hourly fees and hoping with crossed fingers that he knows what he's doing and isn't afraid of the judge). Many lawyers will gladly take your money then cave on you when the chips are down, rather than standing up to the judge with courage and determination to fight for you no matter how that makes the judge "feel" or how the judge might treat that lawyer on other occasions.
If you can't afford a lawyer (or don't trust that a lawyer will have the necessary knowledge and courage to go to the mat for you, fight for yourself!
Follow the rules and use the common-sense tactics in this course to force the judge to follow the rules and order your opponent to follow the rules.
That’s how you win!
The rules rule.
You have rights.
One of those is to represent yourself in court!
Rules of Evidence
Evidence is the stuff that wins cases.
The court’s evidence rules are “fact filters”.
They allow good facts in.
They keep bad facts out.
They are common-sense and fair to both sides!
I spent 5 hours in evidence class every week for 2 semesters my first year of law school to learn what you will learn in just two hours with the Evidence Class in this course.
You will learn how to
None of this is rocket science.
You will use the rules to get your evidence in.
You will use the rules to keep your opponent’s evidence out.
Easy peasy!
The Power of Objections
Objections enforce the rules!
Learning how, when, and why to make objections is essential. Objections control judges by making a record for the appellate court that the judge made an error, you objected to the error, the judge allowed the error to remain, and you renewed your objection giving the judge every reasonable chance to do what the rules and the law require of trial judges.
Objections also stop your opponent from cheating.
Powerful stuff.
You don’t just say, “Objection!” like TV lawyers do. You say “Objection!” then state the legal grounds for your objections. The judge will either sustain your objection and enforce the law, or overrule your objection and run the risk of being reprimanded by the appellate court if you have to appeal.
Everything must stop until the judge rules on an objection. If the judge ignores your objection, object again! Do not allow the judge to ignore your objections. Make your record for appeal or lose needlessly.
You control the court … not the judge … and certainly not your opponent!
Objections are fun!
You'll learn all about them in the class on Objections.
Moving the Court
Judges do nothing until you “move” them to act.
You move them with “motions”.
You may make your motions by speaking or in writing. The best ones are written and filed with the clerk in the court's official file.
Move the court to do anything you want. Move the court to rule on your motions. Move the court to order your opponent to produced documents and things you need as evidence. Move the court to order the bailiff to open a window if the courtroom is stuffy.
Move the court to order anything you need.
The judge will either grant your motions or deny them. Either way, if you've done what you learned earlier, what the judge does or does not do will be in the court's written record.
If you want your motions to be ruled on, you may have to set them for hearing and be prepared to show up and argue why the law requires the judge to grant your motions. If you don't set your motions for hearing, the judge may ignore them.
This information may be entirely new to you, but it isn't rocket science. You should have been taught all this in Junior High! Since you were not taught any of this and have been powerless to enforce your God-given rights before now, this amazing course is explaining these simple things now in a way any average 8th grader can understand.
Do Not Skip Lessons
Most of my classmates in law school skipped classes. I was already 40 years old. They were in their early twenties. They didn't read the texts. They bought crib notes, outlines, and did their legal studies at the pool hall. Now most of them earn modest salaries working for older lawyers and struggle to keep their jobs.
You are going to study. You are going to learn what this amazing course makes easy for you.
But, you are not going to skip any lessons!
You will learn each lesson in the order it is presented to you, because each lesson builds on all the lessons preceding it. Do not jump ahead!
The whole point of this course is to equip you with power to enforce your God-given rights. Some very smart people with goodwill and a desire to promote Peace on this planet came up with the rules of due process that you are now learning about. Learn all of them as you learn the common-sense tactics that empower you to use the rules to get Justice.
Ignore the homespun nonsense pandered by amateurs on the internet who would tell you there are ways to win in court without following the rules. They are not your friends.
The rules rule!
Now go to the next lesson.
