How to Know the Law

Know What the Law Says !

Too many pro se litigants mis-read the law.

Jurisditionary, a Lawsuit Self-Help Course, can assist you with this. Plus, there are other documents that can help you.

Here are our other favorites:

~ Standing in the Shadow of Law
~ Sui Juris: The Truth is In the Record
~ Leon Koziol.Com  and, of course

~ Jurisdictionary 

How can you hope to win If you don't know what the law "says".

Black's Law Dictionary is a great source for Legal Terms. Also, here is an online source, relating to many terms used in Family Court:
Legal Terminology and Related Terms~ The following pages contain legal terminology and related terms you will need to be familiar with.  These pages contain words particular to our cases as parents. "Please be advised that the information provided to you as a courtesy may not reflect current revisions, amendments and/or changes in your states statutes and codes.

How to Put Justice on Trial

Sure, we have problems.

BIG PROBLEMS.

Our American Way of Life is threatened with New Speak, New Thought, Political Correctness, and threat of a New World Order.

Traditional values of self-reliance, hard work, honesty in business, and genuine patriotism working to promote liberty through justice are still the best protection we have for ourselves and our children.

Individual rights will continue to disappear ... if we do nothing.

ONLY IF WE DO NOTHING. Instead....

• FORCE your leaders to do what's right.

• RESTORE the American Dream for yourself, your children, and future generations.

Complaining about a fox in the henhouse doesn't do much for the defenseless chickens. Yet, day-after-day I read posts/emails from people proudly pointing their fingers at "problems" as if doing so will magically make the problems go away.

FIGHT SMART in court and make a difference!

If you want the henhouse safe from foxes, and voting doesn't seem to be working, put ink on court papers and BE HEARD on the official record of your government!

Complaining is getting us nothing.

We are a nation of laws!

• For example, here is an index of legal concerns when one is faced with the Child Protective Agency of Alleged Abuse or Neglect:
  
  Abuse & Neglect ~ Adoption ~ Central Registry ~ Court Hearings ~Definitions ~ Domestic Violence ~ Drug Use ~ Foster Children's Bill of Rights ~ Foster Care ~ Home School ~ Immunity ~ Permancy ~ Placement ~ Records ~ Mandatory Reporting ~ Other Resources ~ Righs of Unmarried Fathers ~ Termination of Parental Rights (TPR)

• True patriots work with legal know-how to control corrupt judges and force legislators to change bad laws. Here are lists of Legislative concerns needed in our Family Courts, relating to "Due Process":
  >>>Model State Legislation -Parental Due Process Act
  >>>Recommendations for Due Process from NCCPR

Know how to use your power, and whether you have a lawyer or not, you must Organize the Who, What, When, Where and Why of your Concerns.

• Organize you information and plan of attack, before you go to court? Yes, and unfortunately, before you go to court, you must be organized.
• If you have a lawyer, have the curiosity to ask questions? Most people are under the impression that there lawyer actually knows what they are doing...In many cases, not so. Hate to say this, but our Statutes have become so complex, that even a lawyer needs assistance.

The always crowd-pleasing session “60 Sites in 60 Minutes” closed the ABA Techshow Saturday as speakers Britt Lorish, Eric Mazzone, Lincoln Mead and Mark Rosch shared their top websites for lawyers.
A few of our favorite sites include:
• Viivo and Sookasa: If you share and store documents in the cloud-based storage system Dropbox, then you’ll want to first encrypt sensitive data using either Viivo (free) or Sookasa (paid).
• The Wirecutter: Need help finding the best tech gadget for you? This website offers helpful shopping tips and reviews on tech products for your practice, home and self.
• CopyPasteCharacter: All of the odd characters you may ever need to type into an email, tweet or mobile document displayed in a single page. Just click, copy and paste.
• Cloudsurfing: Discover and evaluate new web-based services and apps. It even provides screenshots of different user interfaces so that you’ll know what the services are like before you sign up for a demo or purchase.
• Momondo and Skyscanner: Neither website is controlled by hotel or airline companies (unlike other popular travel sites) and offer a wider variety of travel options and hard-to-find deals.
• Byliner: A collection of fiction and nonfiction short stories and long-form articles written by established and promising new writers.
• Meeting Wizard: No more telephone tag! This free service employs simple technology to allow users to send online invitations to plan and schedule meetings and other events, plus propose optional dates, manage responses and send automatic reminders.
• BirthDatabase and TLO: One website can help you to track down information about an individual by supplying the birthdate of more than 120 million names stored in its database. The other is a comprehensive investigative research database that tracks names, aliases, Social Security numbers, addresses, phone numbers (even unlisted ones), relatives, neighbors, assets, driver’s licenses and vehicle info, and email addresses.
• Cue: Have data stored all over the Web in various cloud programs? Cue puts it all together into one interface for easy access.
• AudioName: Is your moniker difficult for others to pronounce? This website allows users to attach personalized audio recordings of their names in emails and on websites so that others don’t commit the awkward faux pas of mispronouncing it in person.
Contact the ABA Law Practice Management section for when materials from this and other Techshow sessions will be available online.
