Finding Evidence - Part One

Lawsuit Self-Help ... Step-by-StepTips & Tactics

 

 

 

 

 

 

Finding Evidence - Part One ...

Please read the testimonials! 

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!

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!

Learn from the leader!

Step-by-step in 24 hours!

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!

Read the testimonials!  

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!

Read the testimonials!  

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.

Read the testimonials!  

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!

Remember: Winners are people who know how the game is played to win -- whether plaintiff or defendant.

The essential tools and elements are explained in the video you can watch right now by clicking the judge.

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!

I know what it takes to win. I did this 25 years!

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!

Political correctness prevents justice too often!

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?

Poll Shows Overwhelming Support for Parental Rights

Where does your candidates stand on your right to parent?

 

 

 

Farris: Poll Shows Overwhelming Support for Parental Rights

Dear Parental Rights Champion,

The highly acclaimed Zogby Poll has just released the results of the first in-depth analysis of our efforts to protect the right of American parents to raise their children free from improper governmental interference. I am thrilled to be able to present to you a summary of the findings from this brand new Zogby Poll.

First, here are some of the highlights from this poll:

The American public stands strongly behind parental rights. America does not want governmental or UN interference in the American family. The public supports a constitutional amendment to protect the rights of all parents.

Those are the headlines. And these findings are true—in varying degrees, of course—for Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Support for parental rights comes from all regions of the country, all racial and religious groups, and at every level of income.

Here are the survey questions, in the order they were asked:

Poll Question 1

Do you agree or disagree with parents having the legal option to give their child a modest spanking?

The government elites are adamant in their opposition to traditional parenting practices. Chief on their list is the elimination of even modest spanking. The UN wishes to ban spanking through the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

But the American public thinks otherwise. On Question 1:

58.7% strongly agree
26.4% somewhat agree
6.0% somewhat disagree
6.9% strongly disagree
2.0% not sure

These are political landslide kinds of numbers.

Various subgroups view this parental right slightly differently (see the in-depth breakdown online), but a large majority of all groups agree. Americans are solidly united in support of parental rights to traditional, modest discipline.

Question 2

In general, parents have the constitutional right to make decisions for their children without governmental interference unless there is proof of abuse or neglect. Do you agree or disagree with this view of parental rights?

All American voters

73.6% strongly agree
20.0% somewhat agree
2.6% somewhat disagree
1.6% strongly disagree
2.2% not sure

The goal of the Parental Rights Amendment is to protect this historic understanding of parental rights. This question reveals that America is nearly unanimous in agreeing with this goal – 93.6% in overall agreement, and 4.2% in disagreement.

The sub-groups are available online, but let me include this one sample:

Conservative  98.4% agree 0.9% disagree
Moderate       91.4% agree 4.8% disagree
Liberal           91.6% agree 7.1% disagree

When 98.4% of conservatives and 91.6% of liberals agree on an issue, you know that America is truly united.

Question 3

Would you support or oppose a constitutional amendment to permanently protect parental rights, allowing them to make decisions for their children without government interference, so long as there is no proof of abuse or neglect?

All American voters

45.9% strongly support
17.1% somewhat support
8.5% somewhat oppose
18.3% strongly oppose
10.2% not sure

It is important to note that this question does not make any argument as to why the Amendment is needed. If people were told that the Supreme Court had begun to move away from the traditional standard, the support would almost certainly be much higher. As it is, 63.0% of Americans support the Parental Rights Amendment with 26.8% opposed. Keeping in mind that well over 90% support the goal of the PRA, the opportunity to increase this number above 63% is very strong.

The sub-group views on this question are online here.

Again, a political election that is decided 63% to 26.8% is a called a landslide. America supports the PRA by numbers that represent a landslide even without an explanation of why it is needed.

Question 4

A United Nations treaty on children’s rights is currently being considered by the United States government. If this treaty made international law, it would trump some existing state laws on parents and children. Do you support or oppose this treaty?

All American voters

3.4% strongly support
8.2% somewhat support
9.9% somewhat oppose
44.5% strongly oppose
34.1% not sure

This question reveals a great amount of uncertainty, but for those that had an opinion, 5 Americans oppose the UNCRC for every 1 American that supports it. The question may have been confusing, because the next question clarifies the treaty just a bit and the results are very clear indeed.

Question 5

If you knew that the United Nations treaty on children’s rights would give government broad discretion to overrule parents and decide what it thinks is best for a child, would you support or oppose this treaty, or does it make no difference to your opinion?

1.5% strongly support
4.9% somewhat support
11.6% somewhat oppose
66.7% strongly oppose
4.5% no difference
10.9% not sure

With a single explanation of the effect of the CRC, the opinion of the vast majority of Americans becomes very clear. 78.3% oppose this treaty, and only 6.4% support it.

Opposition to the CRC is found in every political faction. Republicans oppose it 90.1% to 3.9%, Independents 78.5% to 5.2%, Democrats 67.0% to 9.5%. Even liberals opposed the CRC 56.3% to 15.7% - again, a landslide.

Analysis

The vast majority of the American electorate is on our side in this issue of parental rights. The level of support varies a bit from the “landslide” level on the low end up to “nearly unanimous” on the high end.

We have all known that our issue is right—legally and morally. These polls tell us that our issue is winnable.

The challenge we have is to get our message to the American public. If we can reach the public, we will win. It is that simple.

To reach the public we need resources. We need ads, we need earned media (which requires hard work from our staff to make it happen), and we need to use the internet more aggressively and more effectively.

All of these take a great deal of money. And our budgets are very modest. (By the way, I take no salary or expenses from Parentalrights.org.)

We believe that we have a very realistic shot at stopping the Convention on the Rights of the Child in this session of Congress. Right after the last election, Barbara Boxer promised that it would be ratified in this session.

I also believe that we have a realistic chance of passing the Parental Rights Amendment in the House early in the next term of Congress.

The public stands with us. If we can reach them with our message, the vast majority in Congress will listen to the voices of the voters.

Will you please help us with the very best gift you can so that we may reach the American public with our message and protect the rights of all parents for generations to come?

Thank you for helping us make history.

Warmest regards,

Michael Farris

Rape Culture 101 -- Breathtaking Misandry and False Rape Accusations

Rape Culture 101 -- Breathtaking Misandry and False Rape Accusations

by Connie Chastain

It is difficult to read Mr. Harlan's excellent expose, Lambs to the Slaughter: The Hofstra False Rape Case, without a feeling an attack of multiple emotions, virtually all of them negative.
There is, of course, anger or its stronger counterpart, outrage, which a psychologist one told me are understandable and healthy reactions to injustice or unfairness. There is sympathy for the young men, not only for the ordeal they endured, but for the residue that will follow them the rest of their lives. There is impatience shading into disgust for the one-sided assumptions of law enforcement and the media.
But what I feel most is a "How could she...?" bewilderment about the false accuser. There is an element of anger to it, but it's mostly mystification. What could possible cause a presumably intelligent young woman pursuing higher education to indulge in spur-of-the-moment group sex and then call it rape?
Yes, I know the surface reason; she had a boyfriend, and was actually on a date with him when the incident occurred. When he found her in her dorm after the incident and demanded to know what had happened, she claimed she'd been raped. It was to cover up what she must have seen as a shameful sexual episode that she had initiated -- an episode that would have made people think she was "easy," according to her later recantation.
But that still isn't the explanation that will assuage my bewilderment. Mr. Harlan duly notes the claims of feminists that "rape culture" made her do it, a "reason" that doesn't deserve to be dignified with further discussion, and wouldn't provide answers, anyway.
I think the explanation lies in what Harlan calls the "breathtaking misandry" at work in the aftermath of the case.
How could she, how could anyone except a conscienceless sociopath, knowingly imperial innocent people -- even the male kind -- with a falsehood fabricated for such a flimsy reason? It's not because we live in a rape culture, but because we live in a misandry culture -- a culture where altogether too many men and women simply cannot conceptualize the grave injustices perpetrated against men in the name of female equality -- which, in reality, is female empowerment, female supremacy.
There are many reasons why I deeply resent feminism -- its war against religion, its destructive effects on the family, its attempts to fundamentally alter human relationships, its poisoning of society -- but one of the most infuriating is its corruption of law and justice for the sake of getting even with men for their patriarchal sins.
In Harper Lee's masterpiece, To Kill a Mockingbird, the story of a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman in the pre-civil rights South, the protagonist, attorney Atticus Finch, addresses the jury the trial of the accused:
"Thomas Jefferson once said that all men are created equal.... We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe... But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal--there is one human institution that makes a pauper the equal of a Rockefeller, the stupid man the equal of an Einstein, the ignorant man the equal of a college president. That institution, gentlemen, is a court.... Our courts have their faults, as does any human institution, but in this country our courts are the great levelers, and in our courts all men are created equal."

Unfortunately, there are those who would add deliberate corruption to the unavoidable human faults of our courts, in fact, to our whole process of law enforcement and justice, for the sake of a terribly destructive ideology. And the truly horrible thing about misandry culture is that so many people are under its influence unawares and simply do not see the corruption, the destruction, or the danger -- for example, decades-long prison sentences for innocent young men on the mere say-so of a single woman..
One great effort to bring knowledge and sanity to this dilemma is the work of Pierce Harlan, Steven Berkimer and other contributors via this blog. Many thanks for their efforts, and compliments to Pierce for the masterful Hofstra expose.

Let's look outside of the box and get real solutions in Lansing. Voting for the lesser of two evils is still voting for evil.
