Statutes, Codes, & Caselaw-Search/Study Sites

These are some excellent sites to browse and search case law, codes, and statutes. If any of you out there know of any other good sites, please post them.

Always cross reference your findings that you are looking for to make sure what you are veiwing is up to date and hasn't been amended. I have run across some sites that have not been updated. Always before presenting a case (if your Pro SE) go to the law library at your court house and double check everything if your not sure. Even attorneys and judges make these mistakes and sometimes rule with outdated codes and statutes.......also it is always better to have a photo copy of the actual code or statute from the actual law book at the courthouse to present as evidence in court.

About going PRO SE

Pro se people are winning ... more and more! Going to court without a lawyer is more common than you might imagine. There is a definite trend in the U.S. for more people to fight without lawyers. An American Bar Association study is reported to show nearly 1/2 of all pro se people believe lawyers care more about their own self-interest than their client's rights.

There's good reason for this! Lawyers who bail at the last minute. Lawyers who don't really know what they're doing. And, worst of all, lawyers afraid to pull judges' chains and demand justice, instead of currying favor with the bench.

An estimated 60% of pro se people say they can't afford a lawyer, and 20% of pro se people say they simply don't want to spend the money.

About half of all legal actions in the U.S. involve at least one pro se party. That's a lot of good folks who need more case-winning lawsuit know-how ... since none of us were taught anything at all about justice in public school. It's a real problem, and it's growing worse each day!

Ever ask yourself, "Why weren't we taught anything at all about justice in our tax-supported schools?" Who is keeping it all a secret? The answer is usually found when you "follow the money"! Who benefits from your legal ignorance?

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?

Folks are claiming there's a judicial "conspiracy" against pro se litigants, but let's examine a few facts:
Most pro se people don't know the rules. Even though the US Supreme Court has said that pro se parties do not need to know the rules. Haines v. Kerner; Boag v. McDougall
Most pro se people don't know how to prevent the lawyer on the other side from playing tricks with the rules.
Most pro se people make assumptions about what is "admissible evidence" and stuff that isn't.
Most pro se people don't know how to draft their pleadings or motions properly.
Most pro se people don't know why it's important to write proposed orders for the judge to sign.
Most pro se people don't know why, when, or how to make effective objections in court.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Pro se parties who know the rules and how to use them don't waste the court's time and, as a result, get justice more often than not!

Remember: It does no good whatsoever to complain.

The difference between winners and losers is the fact that winners make an effort to learn the rules and how to use them 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 and the rules of procedure and go to court with silly arguments and lose.


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.


Things you can do to win in court (especially family court):

Avoid filing an answer to a divorce complaint by moving the court to dismiss or strike the complaint or require a confusing or poorly-worded complaint to be re-written, or dismissing it on grounds that the other side has no standing to file a suit; especially if the allegations are bogus, fraudulent and used to deceive and lie.

Use effective discovery tools to force the other side to produce facts that may lead to admissible evidence.

Move the court and demand that the judge enforce your legal rights.

I

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.

Political correctness prevents justice too often!

Winning lawsuits is a brutal axe fight!

The most dangerous falsehoods are the ones we like to believe. The most dangerous one of all is when lawyers tell you that "if you represent yourself, you're a fool for a client". In actuality the saying was that if a lawyer represents himself, he's a fool for a client. Is there truth to the rumor because lawyers don't really know what they're doing?
