Getting Court Orders...

 
 
 
 
When you're in court - plaintiff or defendant - the goal is always the same: Court Orders
This Tips & Tactics gives you inside info on how to get them and protect yourself from unscrupulous lawyers who try to get the judge to sign orders that don't say what the judge ordered!
The most important order is the Final Judgment, but in most cases there will be many other orders resulting from motions and hearings on various issues, such as forcing discovery or arguments about evidence, etc.
If you aren't careful, orders will be corrupted!
Many judges do not prepare their own orders. You must volunteer to "prepare the order" at the conclusion of each and every hearing. If you don't, the other side may write the proposed order to say things the judge did not order!
My famous, affordable, case-winning Jurisdictionary step-by-step 24-hour course shows you in detail how to protect yourself from crooked lawyers.
In general, courts allow the prevailing party to write the proposed order. If you win the motion, you should be the one to write the order. If the other side wins the motion and is directed to write the proposed order, you must do the following:
"Your Honor. I move the Court to order my opponenet to provide me a copy of the proposed order before submitting it to you for your signature, so I can compare it to the transcript of this hearing for accuracy."
Another reason why you must have a court reporter at every hearing!
I remember one case in particular where the other side would prepare orders for the judge to sign (whenever my insistence on preparing the orders failed) and invariably they would put something in the order that the judge did not order! Then I would have to file a motion to set aside the order, provide my own version of the order, and send the court pages from the official transcript to show that my opponent was trying to pull a fast one. In that case, I was required to do this at least six times!
If you are paying a lawyer, make certain your lawyer is writing the orders and that they say exactly what the judge said. Don't let your lawyer wimp out on you.
If you are pro se the court may be disinclined to let you prepare orders, so come to court with orders already prepared and hand them to the court at the end of the hearing!

My Jurisdictionary step-by-step course shows you how and gives you sample forms and explanations.
Orders are actually very simple. The standard language may sound complicated, but it really is simple:
______________________________
CAPTION OF THE CASE 
THIS CAUSE having come before the Court upon the motion of Danny Defendant for an Order directing the plaintiff to produce copies of his bank statements for the past six months, and the court having heard argument of the parties, reviewed the file, and being otherwise fully advised in the premises, it is
ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that:
1. The defendant's motion is granted.
2. Plaintiff shall have 10 days from the date hereof to produce his bank statements for the past six months.
DONE AND ORDERED at Austin, Texas this 7th day of September, 2010.
Signature of Judge
_______________________________
After all, it is Orders we seek when we go to court. If you allow the other side to get the judge to sign orders that do not reflect what the court actually ordered, you might as well give up before you begin!
There are good lawyers, but there are also some who will lie and cheat and twist the rules beyond recognition, and you need my Jurisdictionary step-by-step course to show you how to protect yourself from legal high-jinks ... so you can win!
You have a Constitutional right to get justice.
You have a Constitutional right to win pro se!
BUT!
Pro se people often do not get justice.
Why?
We at Jurisdictionary hear from a lot of folks claiming there's a judicial "conspiracy" against pro se litigants, but 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.
BUT!
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 courroom 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 Jurisdictionarystep-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!
_______________________________
Once you master the simple concepts I teach, you'll be more powerful than most lawyers I met in 25 years as a licensed lawyer in state and federal courts as a licensed bar attorney!
Of course you cannot learn all you need to know about what it takes to win by waiting for my Tips & Tactics each week. You need to learn the case-winning tactics in my affordable Jurisdictionary course that will show you what it takes to win, step-by-step in just 24-hours.
Whether plaintiff or defendant, you cannot hope to win if you don't know what my course teaches.
These tips should convince you to order my complete course ... whether you're a plaintiff or defendant.
If you don't know what opportunities you have in court, you don't have much of a chance of winning!
Let me urge you to order my course today (if you don't already have it) so you won't make the common mistake of assuming you already know everything you need to win!
Remember: Winners are people who know how the game is played to win -- whether plaintiff or defendant.
- - - - - - -

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!
My Jurisdictionary will show you how in just 24-hours, step-by-step!
The Jurisdictionary Method wins lawsuits!
Watch my video and see for yourself how easy it is to use knowledge, stealth, and wisdom to win in court!
See what's important, what's not, and how to focus all your energy where it belongs: getting court orders!

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!
Winning lawsuits is a brutal axe fight!
Jurisdictionary is your axe!!


Thousands of people just like you are winning with my easy-to-learn 24-hour step-by-step course. Ask anyone who has my course. Everyone loves it!
If you don't know what my course teaches, you lose!
End of story!
Winners do what Jurisdictionary makes easy-to-learn and don't wait until trial to get justice!
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 fight 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!

Win Without Risking Trial!

~~~~~~Tips and Topics from Jurisdictionary~~~~~
Click Here for other Tips & topics from Jurisdictionary 
Win Without Risking Trial!

Do you really know how to win before trial?

Lawyers may drag out a case (so they can make more money billing for their time), and many insist on going to trial (which costs even more money).

If you hold the winning cards (the law and facts favor your case) you can win before trial!

Let me explain. The full details you need to know are in my affordable step-by-step Jurisdictionary "How to Win in Court" course, but I can give you a few starting points to convince you of the value of my affordable course and why you should order today ... if you don't already have my popular course!

#1 ... There is absolutely nothing in the way of evidence you can get into the record at trial that you cannot get into the record before trial, using your five (5) powerful evidence discovery tools, as more fully explained in my popular and affordable step-by-step 24-hour course.
  • There are no witnesses you cannot question under oath before trial.
  • There are no documents or things you cannot get into the record before trial.
  • There is nothing going to happen at trial that cannot be made to happen before trial.
  • If the facts are on your side, you can get them all into evidence before trial, using my Jurisdictionary methods.
#2 ... There are absolutely no legal arguments you can make at trial that you cannot make before trial using the research and memorandum system my course explains.

If the law is on your side, you don't have to wait to go to trial to make your legal arguments. You can and should make all your legal arguments before trial the way my popular self-help course explains.
You can quote and cite all the statutes, constitutional provisions, common law doctrine, and court rules that may apply to your case using the research and memorandum system my course explains to make your winning record.

#3 ... There is absolutely nothing that can be done at a trial that cannot be resolved in your favor before trial, if you have a winning case (i.e., if the law and facts are on your side).
In a very real sense, the "trying" of your case begins at the filing of the very first pleading and continues through every phase of litigation.

Here are 4 common reasons cases go to trial and why you need my course whether you have a lawyer or not.
  1. They had a lazy lawyer who didn't do the pre-trial work he could have done.
  2. They had a stupid lawyer who didn't know how to do the pre-trial work he could have done.
  3. They had a greedy lawyer who dragged out the case to the bitter end to take more money from his client.
  4. They didn't have a lawyer, and they didn't know what my popular Jurisdictionary course makes so easy-to-understand an average 8th grader can do it!
Don't wait for trial to win!
Here are a few of the dozens of reasons why you should do all you can possibly do to avoid going to trial:
  1. Trial is uncertain, especially with unpredictable juries or corrupt judges.
  2. Trial is a "think on your feet" exercise that keeps you on your toes, where pre-trial work is slow and steady and lets you work at your own pace.
  3. Trial exposes you to the dirtiest lawyer tricks in a way that failure to react quickly to put a stop to the high jinks of your opponent can be fatal.
If you have a winnable case, win before trial!
There are no questions you can ask at a trial that you cannot ask before trial using interrogatories, requests for admissions, depositions, and subpoenas as explained in my affordable course.

There are no documents or things you can bring to trial that you cannot get into the trial record before trial using requests for production, subpoenas, and depositions duce tecum as explained in my course.
There are no legal arguments you can make at trial that you cannot make more effectively and powerfully before trial using the legal research and memorandum system my course explains.

If you don't win before trial, you didn't do what you could have done earlier in the case when you still had lots of time to do it. Trial is crunch time! Not a good place to be, if you can avoid it by winning before trial using the Jurisdictionary "How to Win in Court" self-help course.
I know what it takes to win before trial.

My Jurisdictionary will show you how, too ... in just 24-hours ... step-by-step!

How to Argue with Judges!

~~~~~~Tips and Topics from Jurisdictionary~~~~~
Click Here for other Tips & topics from Jurisdictionary 
How to Argue with Judgees!!

Arguing with judges is like arguing with baseball umpires.
You better know the rules AND HOW TO USE THEM!
Here are a few rules from the Official MLB Rulebook:
  • A player is not permitted to step or go into a dugout to make a catch.
  • A player is permitted to reach into a dugout to make a catch.
  • If a player makes a catch outside the dugout and his momentum carries him into the dugout, the catch is allowed as long as the player does not fall in the dugout.
Simple enough?
  • But!
    What if the players and the coaches on one team don't know the rules?
    What happens then?
    Will it do that team any good to argue with the umpire?
    Probably not!
And all the %#$@&* will only get you thrown out of the park and possibly grounded for the season!
To argue successfully with a baseball umpire or a judge on his bench in the courtroom, you must know the Rules of Court ... and how how to use them to your advantage!

It's the bottom of the ninth. Two down. Batter at the plate. The count is three and two. The batter pops a high foul. You push back your catcher's mask and dash toward the dugout to make the catch. The ball hits your glove and you trip on the rim of the dugout and fall in. Scrambling to your feet, you climb back out of the dugout, ball in your upraised hand, triumphant grin on your face.
  • Teammates cheer.
  • Fans roar fanatic approval from the stands.
But, the scornful look on the umpire's face and his raspy voice erase your victorious joy.
"Foul Ball!"
"But, I caught the ball, ump!"

The player strides purposely toward the umpire, waving a fist, yelling obscenities, and spitting (of course).
Fast behind is the coach, marching menacingly toward the umpire, cap shoved back, fists in the air, also shouting nasties and accusing the umpire of needing a new pair of glasses.
The umpire stands firmly behind the plate, hands planted on his hips, and waits for the verbal onslaught.
"I caught the foul ball. It's an out!"
"It's a foul ball. Period!" the umpire insists.
"You must be blind, Ump! It's an out! Game's over. We win! You saw me catch the ball? Jeeter couldn't do any better!"
"Maybe not," the umpire insists, "but Jeeter knows the ground rules! You fell in the dugout. Catch doesn't count. Get back behind the plate where you belong!"
"But. But. But."
If you studied my affordable 24-hour Jurisdictionary lawsuit self-help course, you know that all the "buts" in the world won't do you a bit of good in court!
Claiming you're pro se and should be allowed to play by different rules won't help, either!
You either learn the rules - and how to use them to your advantage - OR YOU LOSE!
Sending emails to friends after you lose or posting hateful comments on the internet complaining "All our courts are corrupt" just marks you as a loser.
Learn the official rules and how to use them ... or lose!
You can show up in court with all kinds of documents and things that you think are "admissible evidence". You can know the law is on your side.
But!
If you don't know the rules of evidence and rules of procedure - and how to use them to your advantage - you lose!
There will be times when you'll need to argue with the judge about this or that, but do yourself a favor and discover what I learned practicing law in state and federal courts since 1986: unless you know the rules and how to argue the rules effectively, you have no more chance of changing a judge's ruling than the catcher who snags a foul ball in mid-air while falling into the dugout!

The Rules RULE!
End of story!
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 the rules of court or how to use them to advantage.

Too many good folks believe mythological silver-bullet easy solutions to their legal problems. As a predictable result, they are losing ... when they could be winning!

A host of wannabe legal gurus infest the internet and barbershops with half-baked 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."

You may have heard people claiming you can win by challenging a judge's oath of office, insisting a UCC lien can be used to create collateral for borrowers, insisting banks don't loan "real money", or that you can deny your citizenship and claim to be a "sovereign human being" above the law.

It might work in small claims or traffic court ... but it will not carry the day for you in any kind of serious lawsuit or criminal case.

Hope in one hand and spit in the other. See which hand gets wet.
Learn how to use the rules!
It's not expensive, and people who have my course tell us an 8th grader can learn it all in a single weekend.
If you have a lawyer, you'll save thousands in legal fees by knowing what the lawyer should be doing ... and you'll maximize your chances for success by making certain the lawyer does what should be done, instead of taking you for a ride to the poorhouse - as happens to so many good people these days.
If you don't have a lawyer, you'll know how to stop the opponent's crooked tricks and get the judge on your side!
The key is knowing the rules and how to use them!

How to Read the Law ...

~~~~~~Tips and Topics from Jurisdictionary~~~~~
Click Here for other Tips & topics from JurisdictionaryHow to Read Law

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 the only 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!
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 generis means, in essence, of the same type.
You need to know this stuff ... if you want to win!
To learn more, order my affordable, official 24-hour Jurisdictionary "How to Win in Court" self-help course and get your competitive edge ... before it's too late.
