Lawsuit Hope and Hype ...

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

Bell Transparency Act of 2011

_____th CONGRESS

______ Session

________________

A BILL

To amend title 28, United States Code, to provide for the detection and prevention of judicial misconduct. Providing for full powers of investigations, civil suit discovery and allowing citizens’ civil suits  to be filed against judicial officers of the Court – judges and law clerks, for a “finding” of wrongful conduct. Also to enable citizen suits against attorneys in their capacities as officers of the Court “during” a judicial process for damages, and to alleviate continuing damages when there is sufficient material facts in evidence of egregious “ongoing” wrongdoing by attorneys.
There are world wide web sites providing evidence of abuse to support that certain officers within the judicial system believe themselves to be above the law. It is time to pass laws to protect the Constitutional rights of citizens; holding judicial officers responsible, and mandating judicial transparency. The Bell Transparency Act of 2011 would enable citizens to file civil law suits against parties having committed wrongful acts, in a final effort to prevent inappropriate conduct in the Federal and State judiciaries. In accordance with the world wide documentation of complaints, clearly our judicial system is in need of a strict deterrent that will promote judicial responsibility.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

Judge's Opinion on Those Who go Pro Se

To compare the judges' attitude together, I've divided this into 4 Parts. You be the judge of the Judges.

• Part 1- Pro Se litigant starts with short video of judge, but quotes a Supreme Court ruling:
           Supreme Court Rule 4.300(5) States in Part:
                                            "A Judge shall not, in the
                           performance of Judicial duties
                             by words or conduct manifest
                                   bias or prejudice..."
• Part 2- An opinion from one who was once a judge and his comments on Judge Myles and the litigant picking on him. Plus a few more videos of this Family Court Hearing
• Part 3- Call it a summary of opinion of the Pro Se Dad. He titled it:
                Family Court Destroys Families
•  Part 4- Another Pro Se litigant presenting his issues before the Supreme Court:
                Probate and Family Court Jurisdiction  

 So Do Enjoy, and I hope you can see the differences
Both of the Pro Se Litigant and Judges

Part 1

A very short video. But very interesting.. Enjoy

Judge John D. Myles on Pro Se Litigants

Actual Court Video of John David Myles, Family Court Judge in Shelby County.

Part 2

Although I do agree the above clip is a point for the Litigant, may want to check out the comments below, plus other video.

Even as one who defends themselves, one needs to know the workings of the court they are in.

I say no more, you be the Judge

Shelby County Family Judge victimized by YouTube video postings by angry litigant

A Shelby County pro se litigant who is angry with Shelby Family Court Judge John D. Myles rulings, has posted numerous videos on the video web site youtube.com which attempts to criticize the judge.The attempt is to try to make the Judge look bad, but the result misses the mark.LawReader has viewed these video tapes and we conclude that Judge Myles has shown a great deal of restraint.   It is unfortunate that the pro se litigant does not understand anything but that he is losing his case regarding child visitation.  Obviously, the game becomes blame the Judge. 

We have sympathy for any Family Judge.  Judge Myles is certainly having a difficult time with this litigant.   It is unfortunate that the Judge is not permitted to post his own videos in which he points out the failings of the litigant. 

Any one who practices law will understand how carefully Judge Myles has handled himself.  As a former Judge I shudder to think what I might have said to this troublesome litigant.   We can imagine that other judges will likely be subjected to this whining.

Medical Power of Attorney

The following was taken from a Discussion Group. Can’t say how important it is to take steps before a catastrophe may occur.

In this case, the conversation is in relationship to CPS, who may come knocking at your door.

Do feel free to pass this on to others. Actually, some of us are going door to door, and/or personally giving this information to those who are very concerned in protecting their family.

Also, another bit of information one may want to read is found on this page>> http;//nfpcar.org/Miranda .

Basically, “If you do not know your Rights, You have none."

Note: I am not a lawyer. Please seek appropriate Legal Council.

Question on Medical Power of Attorney

I am much confused where medical POA is concerned. How does that fall into CPS being unable to take a child ? I have POA doc's on my Mom and my Son in case they cannot speak for their best interest where medical care is concerned. Can you explain how this works for children and CPS ?I would very much like to have my Son and his girl friend do this in case after the children go home CPS tries to step in again pulling the children before the case actually closes.

A Basic Answer

CPS claims to be protecting the child because there is no fit person to care for the kids as they feel the parents unfit. Now if theree is a designated alternative set up before the parents were claimed to be unfit, CPS can't take them away.

INFORMATION CONCERNING THE

MEDICAL POWER OF ATTORNEY

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT LEGAL DOCUMENT. BEFORE SIGNING THIS DOCUMENT,
YOU SHOULD KNOW THESE IMPORTANT FACTS:

Except
to the extent you state otherwise, this document gives the person you
name as your agent the authority to make any and all health care
decisions for your ________(son/daughter), ____________________(child's
name)., in accordance with your wishes when you are out of town or
unavailable or no longer capable of making them for your
_____________(son/daughter), including your religious and moral
beliefs, when you are no longer capable of making them yourself.

Because
"health care" means any treatment, service or procedure to maintain,
diagnose or treat your ___________(son/daughter) 's physical or mental
condition, your agent has the power to make a broad range of health
care decisions for your ____________(son/daughter). Your agent may
consent, refuse to consent or withdraw consent to medical treatment and
may make decisions about withdrawing or withholding life-sustaining
treatment. Your agent may not consent to voluntary inpatient mental
health services, convulsive treatment, psychosurgery or abortion . A
physician must comply with your agent's instructions or allow your
_____________(son/daughter) to be transferred to another physician.

Your
agent's authority begins immediately so that proper care and treatment
can be provided for your _________________(son/daughter) in the event
you are unavailable, are out of town or lack the competence to make
health care decisions for _______him/her.

Your
agent is obligated to follow your instructions when making decisions on
your __________________(son/daughter) 's behalf. Unless you state
otherwise, your agent has the same authority to make decisions about
your __________(son/daughter)'s health care as you would have had if
you had been personally present.

It
is important that you discuss this document with your
____________(son/daughter)'s physician or other health care provider
before you sign it to make sure that you understand the nature and
range of decisions that may be made on your behalf. If your
________________(son/daughter) does not have a physician , you should
talk with your physician or if you do not have a physician, with
someone else who is knowledgeable about these issues and can answer
your questions.
You
do not need a lawyer's assistance to complete this document, but if
there is anything in this document that you do not understand, you
should ask a lawyer to explain it to you.

The
person you appoint as agent for your _______________(son/daughter)
should be someone you know and trust. The person must be 18 years of
age or older or a person under 18 years of age who has had the
disabilities of minority removed . If you appoint your
__________________(son/daughter) 's health or residential care provider
(e.g., his physician or an employee of a home health agency, hospital,
nursing home, or residential care home, other than a relative), that
person has to choose between acting as your agent or as your
_________(son/daughter) 's health or residential care provider; the law
does not permit a person to do both at the same time.

You
should inform the person you appoint that you want the person to be
your ___________________(son/daughter)'s health care agent. You should
discuss this document with your agent and your
______________(son/daughter's physician and give each a signed copy.
You should indicate on the document itself the people and institutions
who have signed copies. Your agent is not liable for health care
decisions made in good faith on your ________________(son/daughter) 's
behalf.

Even
after you have signed this document, you have the right to make health
care decisions for your ___________(son/daughter) as long as you are
available, not out of town and are able to do so and treatment cannot
be given to your _____________(son/daughter) or stopped over your
objection. You have the right to revoke the authority granted to your
agent by informing your agent or your ______________(son/daughter) 's
health or residential care provider orally or in writing, or by your
execution of a subsequent medical power of attorney for your
__________(son/daughter). Unless you state otherwise, your appointment
of a spouse dissolves on divorce.

This document may not be changed or modified . If you want to make changes in the document, you must make an entirely new one.

You may wish to designate an alternate agent in the event that your agent is unwilling, unable or
ineligible
to act as your agent. Any alternate agent you designate has the same
authority to make health care decisions for your
_______________(son/daughter) .

THIS
POWER OF ATTORNEY IS NOT VALID UNLESS ITIS SIGNED IN THE PRESENCE OF
TWO COMPETENT ADULT WITNESSES . THE FOLLOWING PERSONS MAY NOT ACT AS
ONE OF THE WITNESSES:

(1) the person you have designated as your agent;

(2) a person related to you by blood or marriage;

(3) a person entitled to any part of your estate after your death under a will or codicil executed
by you or by operation of law;

(4) your attending physician;

(5) an employee of your attending physician;

(6) an employee of a health care facility in which you are a patient if the employee is providing
direct patient care to you or is an officer, director, partner, or business office employee of
the health care facility or of any parent organization of the health care facility; or

(7) a person who, at the time this power of attorney is executed, has a claim against any part of
your estate after your death.

I certify I have received a copy ofthis "Information Concerning the Medical Power of Attorney."

How to Lose in Court......

~~~~~~Tips and Topics from Jurisdictionary~~~~~

Click Here for other Tips & topics from Jurisdictionary

Blogger Intro. Note: My self and many others have told many "Any guidance given on the internet is merely a "Starting Point" The rest of your challenge to defend yourself, with or without a lawyer, is up to you. You must do your homework and research the statutes, particular to your concerns and present "Proof".

For example, in my case, it took over three months to do research. Yes, at that time I did have a lawyer.. But together we took each alleged abuse and/or policy violation and using the statutes and "Real Proof", we were able to defend ourselves. I am not a lawyer, but over the last decade, I have learned enough to be aware of the many tricks that exist in our court system. Not an easy task since many are acting under the "Color of Law"

So do read this following email and hopefully one can learn just a wee bit more. For learning is a "Never Ending Story"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

How to Lose In Court

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?

#5 ... Judges don't like to read. Judges are busy. Yours is not their only case! The more work you make the judge do to understand your side of the case, the more angry and frustrated the judge will become. That can't work in your favor!
