10 Literary Lawyers We Wish Were Real



"..Readers love their characters, and few are as diverse a group as the written lawyer. As some of the most diverse characters in the fictional tradition, the barrister can be a source of good or evil. And who doesn’t love a newcomer with a fresh edge? Major and minor, funny and classic, lawyers occupy a unique space in the charactered universe that requires loose definition to be called an archetype. From legal intrigue to a stalwart moral compass, it’s no wonder that we found 10 literary lawyers that we wish were real..."


Just thought I would share this great Dream of having that Lawyer like the ones listed in this article?

Questions You Want to Ask Your Lawyer

Force Your Opponents to Pay Up!

Below is one of the many emails received from Jurisdictionary .  This discussion is not necessarily about $$$$

( From "How to Win" Step-by-Step Self-Help Course )Jurisdictionary

Win with Jurisdictionary!
Even experienced lawyers fail to force their opponents to meet the Burden of Proof. (Related Reading: Burden of Proof Begone)

It's like making your enemies "pay up", to prove what they say!
You never have to prove you don't owe!

Nor are you required to prove your dog didn't bite your neighbor, or your driving didn't cause the accident.

Everyone demanding any right in court has a burden to prove they're entitled to have the court enforce the right!

If they can't meet their burden, they lose and, if you're the defendant, you win!

Of course, if you're a plaintiff, it's your job to meet the burden of proof to show you deserve the court's favor.

Knowing how the burden works (there's quite a bit more to it than I can explain in this short newsletter) gives you power to win instead of being just another victim!
  • The burden is always on the party making claims.
  • The burden is never on defenders - unless the burden shifts once the claimant meets his burden of proof.
  • In civil cases, the burden is met by presenting the greater weight of admissible evidence (sometimes called the "preponderance of evidence") in support of the fact elements necessary to prevail on at least one "cause of action" (explained in the course and essential knowledge, if you want to win).
  • In criminal cases, the state's burden is met only by presenting evidence that proves the fact elements of the crimes alleged beyond and to the exclusion of any reasonable doubt.
The burden of proof is always on the party asserting a claim, making a motion, demanding a right, etc.
Before a court can lawfully grant relief of any kind, the party seeking relief must carry his burden to prove he's entitled to relief ... whether the case is civil or criminal.

Some may say, "It's just your word against his."
That's never true in court.
One side always has the burden.
Just like in a tennis match, the ball is always on one side of the net!

The burden of proof may shift back and forth during a complicated lawsuit, depending on who claims what and when, however the burden is always on the side seeking relief at any particular moment, the party making a claim, the litigant moving the court, the claimant alleging a fact, etc.
WARNING:
Lawyers will try to put you "on the defensive".
Lawyers will try to trick you into struggling to prove a negative, e.g., that you didn't do something or that something did not happen. Don't get sucked in!

People who don't have the official Jurisdictionary "How to Win in Court" course go out of their way to show they were out of town that day or confined to a wheelchair or otherwise struggle to dis-prove something that is entirely the burden of the other side to prove.
This is what crooked lawyers do.
BEWARE!
BE WISE!
If a defendant ignorantly tries to dis-prove what his opponent has the burden to prove, his opponent is spared the labor of proving his case! The waters are muddied. The real issues get lost. The judge gets sidetracked. And YOU come out on the short end of the stick every time!

Smart people who use the official Jurisdictionary "How to Win in Court" course know how to move the court to take judicial notice that "the burden is on the moving party to prove whatever he claims" and, if the other side cannot prove what he claims, Jurisdictionary students know how to move the court for summary judgment and put an end to their troubles then-and-there!
Put the ball in the court where it belongs!

How to Read the Law ...




Below is one of the many emails received from Jurisdictionary .  In this discussion, I encourage everyone to keep this point in mind:
You need to know this stuff ... if you want to win!
Also, check out our online Legal Terms>>Go Now

( From "How to Win" Step-by-Step Self-Help Course )
Jurisdictionary

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!

Protect Yourself From Lawyers

Below is one of the many emails received from Jurisdictionary .  In this discussion, I encourage everyone to keep this point in mind:

Good people should never lose in our courts ... whether they can afford a lawyer or not!

( From "How to Win" Step-by-Step Self-Help Course )
Jurisdictionary

... Especially Your Own Who is Taking Your Money!
  • If you're like most people, you don't have a clue what it takes to win a lawsuit.
  • If you have a lawyer, you don't have a clue what your lawyer should be doing or how you might get involved in your case to reduce legal fees and costs.
  • If you don't have a lawyer, you go to court blindfolded, with one had tied behind your back!
  • If you hire a lawyer, you pay the lawyer, tell the lawyer about your problem, leave your problem with the lawyer, take your chances, and hope for the best!
There IS another way!
A nice lady contacted us for help. Her lawyer promised to file an appeal after the court ruled against her. The lawyer never filed! The deadline to file ran out. Her winnable case is lost forever!

A nice man paid his lawyer $60,000. No discovery was done. No evidence was uncovered. The case was lost. His $60,000 bought absolutely nothing!

Too often people hire lawyers who are afraid to stand up to arrogant judges, too timid to press opponents for evidence, unwilling to fight tooth-and-nail for rights the lawyer promised to protect, or simply bailing out at the last moment, leaving their clients to fight their legal battles alone. Perhaps you know good people who suffered at the hands of their own lawyers. If so, we'd like to hear from you. Send your stories to: lawbook@jurisdictionary.com

Legal malpractice is on the rise, yet most people have no idea how to stop it, whether it's a crooked lawyer on the other side or your own lawyer!

People who pay lawyers, instead of going pro se, frequently end up holding the bag when the lawyer they hire bails our or wimps out, so they lose and never know why!

Good people should never lose in our courts ... whether they can afford a lawyer or not!
But, the vast majority don't know where to turn to find out for themselves what it takes to win ... whether they go pro se without a lawyer or dig into their life's savings to pay someone to represent them.

And, far too many good people rely on stupid ideas offered by amateurs who send out emails or hold weekend seminars. Not wise!

Jurisdictionary  was created by a lawyer with more than a quarter-century of case-winning experience controlling judges and lawyers with nothing more than a common-sense knowledge of the Rules of Court and how to use them!

Only YOU can protect yourself from lawyers!
There is NO SUBSTITUTE for knowing what it takes to win ... whether you can afford the most expensive legal team or barely afford to put food on your family's table.
It's easy to learn how to win with Jurisdictionary!

Jurisdictionary shows you what needs to be done and makes it easy-to-understand - whether you do it yourself as a pro se or hire a lawyer to do it for you.
You'll know how pleadings and motions should be drafted. You'll know what must be done to force the other side to produce evidence. You'll know the objections that must be made when the opposition tries to trick you with legalese or smoke-and-mirrors tactics.

You'll know what it takes to keep judges honest ! ! !
Without the easy-to-learn Jurisdictionary lawsuit self-help course, you're at the mercy of the lawyer on the other side, you're at the mercy of the judge and, if you have a lawyer, you're at the mercy of your very own lawyer!
Without Jurisdictionary knowledge, you needlessly risk losing!
Don't become another sad lawsuit story! There are far too many already!
Let Jurisdictionary show you how easy it is to know what it takes to win!
  • If you must hire a lawyer you'll know what should be done. You won't pay for incompetence or laziness. You won't let your own lawyer cheat you! You'll know how to demand the effective legal services you're paying for!
  • If you can't afford a lawyer, you'll know how to force the court to protect your rights and the rights of those you love by enforcing the Rules of Court!

It's easy with the affordable 24-hour Jurisdictionary course.

Learn how to control the court -- step-by-step ... in just 24 hours!
Go to www.Jurisdictionary.com to learn more!
  • Forward this Tips & Tactics to your friends. They'll thank you for it.
  • Winners know how to control the court using the official Rules of Court!
BE A WINNER ... Learn how to use the Rules of Court to win!
If you don't yet know what we teach, you cannot imagine how much fun it is to force people to do what's right ... even when they don't want to!

You have POWER TO CONTROL JUDGES once you know what the course explains so clearly an 8th grader can learn it all in just 24 hours!

What do you have to lose?
Losers believe in fables and get their legal education at the barbershop or expensive weekend seminars or websites 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 those rules to control judges.
Jurisdictionary IS what it takes to win!
Knowing how to use the Rules of Court to control lawyers and judges really does work!
