Statement, Statute, Case law
The method I use to tie them up is:
I make a statement, then I give them the statute, then I give them case law that supports my position. I throw court rules at them too.
When I do this I am also notifying the judge that she/he better do what's right. You know I tell the judge you will be held liable to me in your private capacity if you don't do what is right.
I have a great mentor who hs been playing with the court for 25 years. He points me in a direction and I run with it. I have received some great comments from this man. He has told me and a bunch of friends of mine who get together for dinner on Saturday that I have done more in one year than he has in the first 10 years of his "fun" in court.
He hates it when I do the hifen and colon in my name, but he has seen it work for me so he has backed off on that.
Masterduke, we are in commerce and we deal in contracts all day every day. Example: Hey do ya want to go to lunch? Other party, Sure. That's an offer and acceptance.
People have a hard time with this and court. It's really all the same.
As soon as you can wrap your head around that... you won't have any trouble.
I have only been doing this since November of last year and even I am surprised at what I have been able to do.
Last night a the county commission meeting there were several judges there. They remembered me in their court and were very friendly to me. It's really a hoot.
Your gonna get it. Don't be afraid of it, just do it.
