He may be a mental basket case, but his book looks pretty good

Lawyerdude is definately in the higher standard of attorney competance in criminal defense litigation.

What I particularly value is his instuction in availing oneself of the advantages to be had by utilyzing properly the litigation cycles.

I don't believe I have ever found that information anywhere else, at least not in such a way that allowed me to conceptualize that a litigation cycle exists as a concrete tool that can be added as a potent weapon in a legal arsenal.

I'm a member of the group, but I no longer contribute or recieve e-mails.

No need to explain that, I'm fairly certain.

If only he kept that attitude directed towards the entities that deserve an arrogant smart alec attitude.....corrupt courts and govt officials!!!!! There is a lot to be learned from Douglas Palaschak. The only thing that I would be careful of in his briefs is that he advertises himself as an attorney but neglects to mentions that he has been disbarred in California. Although I agree with him completely that he has a God given right to pursue his profession without license via the 6th amendment, a court might just disregard any filings should they discover this fact.

I suggest if you use any of his stuff, alter it enough to make it look like a pro persona filing and comprehend the material thoroughly so you can discuss it intelligently. I filed a modified MTD in a traffic case (I won!) but the judge made it a point to ask me if I wrote it myself.

He is still "licensed" to practice law in federal court so that enables him to represent people in other states.

He claims that.

I don't dispute him on it, because when I first joined his group he mentioned bringing the Constitutional Right of choice of counsel to bear by motioning a state court to allow him to represent a party by using internet IM to communicate with his client in the other state.(the guy who got arrested for showing up at a 7-11 to meet a girl he had been chatting with who claimed to be of age).

I know all that because I was new and wanting to impress so I wrote a lengthy Motion using friend of the court briefs pending in SCOTUS at the time.

He extracted some of it and constructed a much more condensed version and had the guy file it.

Whether he can legally represent anyone or not, he is actively doing it without being challenged.

I visited the group the other day and he has an interlocutory appeal challenge in the Kansas Supreme Court, and it has his name on it acting as the the legal representation of the petitioner...

For the record, I got curious and browsed around here about lawyerdude and noticed that Judge Roy Bean was unable to specify what the original misconduct was that got lawyerdude disbarred so that he later got sanctioned for unauthorised practice of law.

They raided a party and found LSD. Somewhere on one of his motion sites is his brief he used to whoop up on that disbarment.

It is the later sanctions for unauthorised practice of law that causes his STATE OF CALIFORNIA problems.

That in itself would be enough to make me like the guy if he wasn't such a jerk.

Im sure JRB knew all about the LSD charge and yes LD put the smackdown on them concerning that issue. About the only way I see the federal court allowing LD to represent a case is on a pro hac vice basis and that usually involves filing a petition for that privilege. The petition has a statement declaring one to be a member of good standing of the state bar of ________ and no pending disciplinary actions. See the link for an example

Perhaps the varying courts dont communicate well, i.e. after disbarment in CA, the federal district wasnt notified and he could say he was in good standing with the federal bar. This would be interesting to find out. If I was the prosecutor, my first order of business would be to know my enemy and with that type of info, totally discredit him in from of the judge. Im just playing devil's advocate here. Im surprised LD didnt take the Cali Bar decision to the SCOTUS for judicial review, since the CA bar is an adminstrative arm of the Cali Supreme Court.

Darn, lawyerdude!

I suppose that's a sterling example of using the litigation cycle at it's finest!!!

Lawyerdude, what to you think of my proposed legal precepts presented here:

[heyday]

I posed the question to a NYS Assistant prosecutor asking how a USDC has jurisdiction within a State at usenet.

he has taken the bait.

I wonder how this will turn out?
