Outstanding! We're so happy to help you feel at ease for your upcoming hearing. Did you see our other video on Preparing for a Court Appearance? ruclips.net/video/2u6-rYutid4/видео.html
"Listen, Understand, Answer" is a process that I wish many more people used, even outside of court. Many skip to an unending rapid-fire "Answer", and people *especially* tend to miss "Understand".
@@tammyrawdon3587 I’m the victim too; my ex who got arrested for DV tried to claim that I made false accusations against him but the judge believed my side more and dismissed the lawsuit thank God. What kind of world do we live in where the victim of domestic violence can get sued for reporting it. I hope you succeed in your case.
its important to not let the the atty get you excited and answering without thinking ,i always repeat the questions back to them to make sure i heard them correctly and give me time to formulate a clear and concise answer ,also important to note that making the record crystal clear is vital and being aware of the court reporter and their job will help you be careful not to speak over people or too quickly and make their job more difficult
You are absolutely welcome! I'm glad you found this before your hearing, and glad you found it beneficial. If you haven't seen it yet, we have another Video (Your Court Appearance) that you might find helpful. Come back after the hearing and let us know if there's something you'd like to see us cover in a future video.
*1:55** In courts, do they not consider us idiots because we do not understand their language of legalese? Why not say I do not understand, and which definition of that word are you are using, which dictionary and which edition is that definition from?*
I appreciate you. and most attorneys don't have first hand knowledge is that hear say lol serious question though cus I'm suing a corp and they are entities and all my documents and way I sign my indorsement as living man does that make their testimony hearsay
Yes or no questions: in German there is a response “Jein”. That is: both “Ja” and “Nein”, meaning both yes and no. Or, in other words: “I cannot answer this question with a yes or a no. It is not officially recognized German, but every German understands it.
Thanks for this information. Very helpful. Makes sense. Does one have to show up in court for a hearing, no matter what type of a civil case it may be, if the pleading did not have the respondent's present correct legal name but was handed/served to the person anyways?
Well, if it is a misspelling of the person's name, that's known as a "misnomer" and doesn't render the service of process void. For example, if the pleading sues "Jon Smith" but your name is actually "John Smith" then you should still respond to the suit. If the facts are pointed at the correct person (even if not properly named) then you run the risk of a Default Judgment by ignoring it. There's an opportunity in the first 30 days after answering (at least in Texas) for someone to correct the spelling of the name.
I like that you quickly understand my question 👍. And if one does tell the other party's attorney of the wrong name on pleading weeks before the hearing and they do not still fix the error in name of the respondent and reserve it or at least correct in with Court and mail amended pleading to the party, then where it stands for appearance? Also, if respondent's name, is known to the moving party only in their official government public servant civilian capacity, could that party take one's driver license info that was provided for other official business but uses that information to use in their legal matter to serve pleading on the respondent, is that legal? For example, if you gave lets say your driver license name and contact info to a public government office to conduct business but an employee there takes that info to lets say sue you, is it allowed or is ontained in violation of one's 4th Amendment and legal consitutiinal right to privacy violation?
Hello. How do I use my C.R.A.C. here ? Police officer claimed I was texting & driving. His car cam 📷 captured the scene of me driving by, but I did NOT have a phone and my hands ✋️ were unable to be seen... How do I argue this ?
I have so often noticed that the questions asked are nothing more than an attempt for an attorney to ‘testify’ hoping to influence the jury. You can instruct to disregard but once heard by the jury, too late.
If the inquisitor puts too much into a question, the witness is entitled to say to the judge, I did not understand the question he is asking. Or 'there seems to be more than one question here, which one do I answer?' or 'I don't understand how the attorney wants me to answer' . When a witness gets a inquisitor who fires off questions like a machine gun, the witness is quite within his rights to slow the process down and take his time to consider the answer. It will annoy the inquisitor no end. But that is his problem. This vid maker could discuss other aspects he has not covered of giving testimony.
Court question: What is your favorite color? Answer: Blue. Court question: What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Answer: What type of swallow? Great video, by the way.
I have been summons to a court case as a witness in a couple months and this has helped a lot!

American Ninja. If you are not a party to the suit you don’t have to testify if you don’t want to. 🙂

3:20 When, where, why, what how questions: *Can you not ask them why is that important and how is your question relevant?*
That is your attorney’s responsibility, not that of the person providing testimony.
Yes, relevance is an objection that can be utilized

Ok.
Yup
With yes or no, there is a third response - I don't know.

Listen, Learn, Understand, Answer, Who, What, When, Why, Where, How, ✅🔥

Plaintiff must appear. STATE OF will never appear, only BAR attorneys. Demand your rite to cross examine the plaintiff.
I'm nervous 😨
