1 final question for you sir. Why must a man belong to a private member association to talk and represent people in court. The law can not be licensed to any man or group...but yet the private member association of the bar is the only way a man can represent anyone or be a judge. Why cannot any man run for judge without belonging to a single exclusive private club and has a absolute strangle hold on 1 branch of government. How say you.
Accurate, Practical and easy to understand. I've benefitted from this a lot and I'm glad non-lawyers have also found this helpful. Thanks for taking your time to share these tips your Honor
Excellent video and great tips right from the horse's mouth. (No offense your honor!) I am a retired old man who was sucked into defending himself in a small claims appeal and don't have two nickels to rub together to hire an attorney. Your tips will help me present my defense as well as my counterclaim.Thank you very much for increasing my hopes of achieving justice that is not green.
Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge and professional opinion. The tips you gave coincide with the many legal writing books I read over the years. Thanks again!
Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Though not directed to the public, I am benefiting from this too. I am , I learned, correctly said, ‘ignorant of the law.’ I add, ignorant of the legal system, process and, LANGUAGE.

Hi, M L! I was watching this video, and I saw your comment! If you're interested in learning more about law school, law firms, and being a lawyer in general, I make videos on all of that stuff -- feel free to come check them out! :) Angela
I could really use your help. I am very emotionally traumatized and am afraid to write to the judge. Can you help me by tomorrow? I k ow we have a big time difference. I in Hawaii, can you help? If no can, I get it... You busy judge man. Mahalo for your video, I listened 3 times and wrote letter 7 times already. Shrunk from 3 pages to 2, now I working on getting all adjectives out. Mahalo Nui Loa for your advice.
Omg! I am too! My 37 year old, mentally disabled son has a neuropsychiatric disorder that made him go into a “Lyme rage”, and he wanted my phone, so he pushed me. I texted my ex husband that he was getting manic because he has been off his medication and therapy, so he called the police. I didn’t even file a report against him! His father had gotten a PPO for a year, because my son was choking him. This has all been caused by his several, high-level Lyme infections and mold toxicity from his father’s house. He needs to come here until I can get him into a rehab that his insurance approved and changed their policy, so they drive him 3 hours to my house. He was doing so well there and trying to get off meds and get treated he Lyme. He has no where to go when he gets out, and the insurance is playing games and the one I can get him on, doesn’t kick in until 2024. I’m disabled and have a worse case of Lyme (umbrella term) than he does. He’s also had at least 5 or 6 seizures within the past month, which indicates the last, chronic stages of Lyme, mold toxicity, long Covid, and autoimmune encephalitis from which he almost died at age 7. This changed his brain, and I’m desperate! I had written a letter, but the judge wouldn’t read it. His bond is so high, I can’t get him out. My whole works is falling apart and I’m in danger of losing my house. He went on a typical spending spree and ordered thousands of dollars if ridiculous things. He’s got the emotional capacity of a 12 year old, and despite his high intellect (140), the cognitive impairment has him at 95 now. No common sense because his brain was damaged by the meningoencephalitis, several TBIs, which took a year each to heal his cracked skull. He has constant excruciating headaches (internal head pressure from thoracic and irreversible damage to the nerves running into his head orifices, so continual problems with eye movement disorders, sensitivity to noises, sinus fullness, weird tastes, and he hears voices and sounds. This all affects the nerves in his brain. I hear him calling, “Mom”, frequently, and it’s always a time he actually called me in his mind. I think he will die there. 😢 If anyone is still reading this, please give m ANY advice! Luckily, I’m a retired English teacher, but my computer is broken as well as my heart.💔🙏🙏🙏🙏
'You should always act if that were the case' was what I gleaned from his comments. Making an inference through repeated filings that the Judge is not doing their job, no matter how factual, is unlikely to confer an advantage to your case or reputation.
hi sir i live HK14 years before i come from China ( I am student ) but china cancel my visa , now HK try to stop my live by throw me in the ocean i need advice from you .thanks sir
If we're dealing with appellate level or higher: Trust me, unless the judge is Fannie Willis, the judge knows the Latin words because Latin words are the foundation of all scientific and legal taxonomies. Now you can use an obscure word that is not Latin--it's a moot point. But about 85% English academic parlance is Latinate.
The bed rock of law has it original fountain in authority in God. He is the only creator of life and law and marriage 💑 As creator he holds all Rites/Rights and authority over such. Anything repugnant to such is null and void on its face. Supreme Court decisions by extrapolation... No state can convert a right into a privilege and issue a license or permit and collect a fee tax or other for any God given rights...Shuttleworth vs. Birmingham 1960s Mulberry vs. Maddison And many other case decisions. Anything repugnant to our sacred Covenant Constitution between us the Masters and our field hands aka public servants is null and void. The Constitution is measly the recognition that these God given rights are gathered and backed up .. The bill of rights is a Restraing order against our servants. We are able to examine a witness and cross examine the witness in trail but yet the DA is the accuser on behalf of millions of people...but you can ask people in court in the gallery if the DA speaks on their behalf and they will normally say no...so when you can not examine and cross examine the accuser how can you get a fair trail ever ??? How can a peace officer serve all 4 positions in traffic and or other criminal acts, conduct and behavior.. I.E. and to wit: see the alleged crime as witness and complaint and serve process by notice to appear or arrest?? I've served and retired law enforcement of 44 years as a Chief of Police, 2 times Chief Deputy Constable and Medical retired due to a line of duty injury Worked in 5 states and as a Deputy US Marshall.. I have asked legal scholas and active and retired judges from local to federal and no 1 can answer the questions. Or they say well it is not legal at all. But we just do it anyways. I am amazed to say the least. The government as a whole and the judicial branch has has left the tracks and has departed the reservation. 1 maxim of law says where the law is unclear there is no law at all. That sounds like a ton of exciting laws to me. Because when the judge in a court of law and record has to ask attorneys about the law and ask other attorneys etc. The law is unclear and no law exists at all. No equality in law at all either. The man who has a public defender has next to no effective repensentation while the wealthy man can afford many experts, and private investigators and several attorneys at 1 time....no way that is justice. Public Defenders always without fail come to the jail with a plea bargain and will not do anything else and the excuse is we don't have funds for this defense and that's no good. I have seen over and over again and again 2 or 3 men be accused of the same crime and the ones with public defenders went to prison and the man that could afford justice...I mean a private attorney went home like nothing ever happened...and they were all together and all were involved in the act. How say you judge ...I am not trying to get you or trap you at all..explain all this to us.here. Chief Jones Retired 43 years of public safety service
The judge may or may not research a point you feel has relevance? This is the kind of behavior that’s caused your current public perception, which is not positive anywhere but the restaurant or bar where you congregate with your peers. And you have a very exclusive club. When I hear about someone seeking vengeance on the legal system, I Never automatically assume they don’t have cause. The norm, of course, is that they’re just unhappy with the decision. But make no mistake. Every bad judge reflects on the rest of you, possibly more directly than any other profession. We know that no one is better positioned to know of bad judges than other judges. Because you hold ultimate power, your responsibility is greater. Speak up.
In all honesty your honor, as the lord knows a Christian man would attest, I am done so much wrong. However, I would trust you will shall be just in your judgement by seeing all the ill done against me.

Can a plaintiff write a letter to a judge?
What happened when it a repeated court
😊
"judges do read briefs very carefully." Credibility lost.
'You should always act if that were the case' was what I gleaned from his comments. Making an inference through repeated filings that the Judge is not doing their job, no matter how factual, is unlikely to confer an advantage to your case or reputation.

You can't persuade judge if he's completely corrupted. My judge is just running social justice at his court.
The judge may or may not research a point you feel has relevance? This is the kind of behavior that’s caused your current public perception, which is not positive anywhere but the restaurant or bar where you congregate with your peers. And you have a very exclusive club. When I hear about someone seeking vengeance on the legal system, I Never automatically assume they don’t have cause.

We know that no one is better positioned to know of bad judges than other judges. Because you hold ultimate power, your responsibility is greater. Speak up.
Use as many words as necessary but as few as possible.
what If I don't know the judge name?
Very hulpful!
In all honesty your honor, as the lord knows a Christian man would attest, I am done so much wrong. However, I would trust you will shall be just in your judgement by seeing all the ill done against me.
Go to hell
They are all crooks they tried to get me but failed
With respect your Honour, this wasn't much help for me. I hope it helps a lot of other people though.
