They have no interest in making the system accessible to non-lawyers.<br /><br />There are plenty of ways to organize a more efficient legal system. The problem is that the State has a monopoly. Even if you could come up with a clever innovation, you can't implement it.FSKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903396202330950362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-82495344305602874312011-01-17T19:46:14.919-05:002011-01-17T19:46:14.919-05:00As I said before, there should be standard flow ch...As I said before, there should be standard flow charts for legal proceedings. Anyone who can read them should be able to connect the dots and work their case with or without an attorney. The entire process could be done by computer doing away with courtrooms altogether. A human judge/jury does the actual determination, etc. of course. Confronting your accuser could be totally virtual.<br />Imagine you are at a certain point in a trial, and you have a GUI with list of options that is context sensitive to the current state of the proceedings. Click, you have an objection, another click and you have a motion... and so on.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-22183965245123681712011-01-17T17:18:51.287-05:002011-01-17T17:18:51.287-05:00I think about legal system as of tennis.

God forbid when prosecution kicks the ball to the defense attorney and a customer does not have any money. The analogy of tennis is useful because a) trial is just a game for prosecutor, defense and the judge. b) As long as a defendant has the money the game can continue forever c) All participants, excerpt the defendant enjoy the game.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-60043887641705474942011-01-17T14:18:10.465-05:002011-01-17T14:18:10.465-05:00This was about criminal defense lawyers, and not c...This was about criminal defense lawyers, and not civil lawsuits.<br /><br />The State legal system is a scam.FSKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11903396202330950362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2182962435875556601.post-31605226187365706532011-01-17T14:08:21.128-05:002011-01-17T14:08:21.128-05:00Oops.

There is never any intention that it goes anywhere.<br /><br />To make up for the lack of content, the plaintiff's lawyer will make lots of threats and huff-and-puff to drawn attention away from the lack of a case.<br /><br />When a non-lawyer reads a letter, all he or she "sees" is the threats.<br /><br />When a lawyer reads a letter he/she looks for evidence.<br /><br />Lawyers know this and so pad out dodgy demand letters with threats rather than law references or evidence.<br /><br />Pay up now they will say or you will have to pay my expensive lawyer's fees.<br /><br />If you go to a lawyer in a civil case, your lawyer will tell the other side how much money you have so they know whether it is worth suing you.<br /><br />I've seen on other websites, comments by people that they are surprised one of the first questions they are asked by their lawyer is how much money they have. This question comes before actually working out whether a valid case exists or not against them.<br /><br />If you have no money the case will mysteriously vanish.<br /><br />If you have money, a case will materialize out of thin air and no evidence.<br /><br />Once a sick joker tried to sue me. His case was rushed and he didn't do any research. Material publicly available proved their case was nonsense. I had hard documentary evidence the guy was at the very least LYING BY OMISSION. He had not one single scrap of evidence. I had lots against him and capable of being verified by several reputable and independent third parties.<br /><br />I constantly phoned my lawyer to tell him to give this DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE to the other side.<br /><br />He did not. This case against me could have disappeared with just one phone call.<br /><br />But 2.5 months went by and nothing happened. The other side did not have the decency to tell us they have dropped the matter.<br /><br />At some level it was dishonest.<br /><br />I got the strange feeling my lawyer was trying to protect the other side's lawyer from being caught out lying at the least by omission.<br /><br />My lawyer was useful in the fact he told me that the case will no nowhere.<br /><br />But bad in the fact that we could have crushed the other side under the weight of their lies, but this did not happen.<br /><br />If they were just trolling for free information, then there is the view you should not respond in any meaningful way other than to negate what they have presented.<br /><br />You should not aim to educate them, just say enough to invalidate what they say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
