Know What the Law Actually Says and Means!
One of the biggest case-losing mistakes is mis-reading the law.
- Constitutions (National & States)
- Rules
- Statutes (For Family issues a great starting point>> Go now)
- Codes
- Court Rulings
- Other Legal Documents
(Note: If you are party to a case, you have a right to see the documents>> Learn more about FOIA and the Privacy Act)
- 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!
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!

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.
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!
