Know How Judges THINK!

Posted in: Jurisdictionary, Law

If you want to win in court, you must understand how most judges think. This week’s Tips & Tactics will get you started on that difficult but essential journey. Our popular and affordable 24-hour Jurisdictionary step-by-step lawsuit self-help course will teach you more and give you the competitive edge you need to win!

judgeLearn this week’s lesson or risk losing your case!
There are three (3) motives that control the way judges think. Know them. Remember them. Plan your tactics accordingly, because the way judges think affects the way judges act … and that affects you!

Here are the three motives that control most judges:
1. Clearing the Docket
2. Black Robe Disease
3. Avoiding Appeal

In this Tips & Tactics I can only touch on these briefly, but our complete 24-hour Jurisdictionary course will give you the in-depth understanding that winners need to win. Each of these is a constant factor in the decisions judges make. They affect all judges. Know them. Remember them. Plan your case accordingly.

Clearing the Docket: Judges have a workload just like the rest of us. It’s called “the docket”, a list of cases pending for the judge to consider and rule upon. How does this affect a judge’s thinking? Simple. Judges want a smaller workload. So, when there’s an opportunity to dismiss a case or enter summary judgment or sign any other order that gets rid of a case, the judge is motivated to do so – whether that ruling serves justice or not! You must be prepared for this motive and plan accordingly.

Black Robe Disease: All judges are affected by it. Power is a peculiar thing. It goes to the head. Even the very best of judges is constantly aware of the power he holds in his pen, the ability to change lives in dynamic, sometimes destructive ways. If the judge is one of the rare good ones, he won’t let it affect his rulings, but even the good ones are human. If the judge is one of the bad apples that somehow made it to the judicial bench, the Black Robe Disease will make him think he is the law … and you must be prepared to remind him that he is not (by applying the teachings in our course to force the judge to rule in your favor).

Avoiding Apeal: Use this one tactically to keep the judge in check, to force the judge to rule in your favor (as explained more fully in our Jurisdictionary course). Strange as it may seem, this motive is the strongest and must be used by you to move the case in your direction. Judges hate appeals. If ruling in your favor will avoid an appeal, all judges will tend to rule in your favor. There are no exceptions. Therefore, making it clear to the judge (at all phases of your case) that failure to rule in your favor will result in your taking him up on appeal is the key to winning. Making your record. Objecting in a timely manner to preserve your record for appeal. Citing controlling case law with opinions of appellate courts favorable to your cause. Drafting proper pleadings that lay the essential groundwork for later appeal, if appeal is necessary. All these things (and many more covered in our course) put judges on notice that you will most certainly appeal and succeed on appeal if they rule against you! The only thing judges dread more than being revers ed on appeal or having their decision sent back to them with correcting instructions from a higher court is being removed from the bench! Learn this well if you want to win!

Indeed, if you want to win you will learn more about these three motives that control the way judges think. You will learn how to control judges by knowing how they think and using our course to take advantage of this knowledge. Too many pro se people “assume” the judge is somehow a superbeing who will move heaven and earth to see that justice is done. The fact is, however, that judges are human. They act out of self-interest, just like the rest of us. And, given free reign by litigants who don’t understand how they think or what makes them do what they do, judges will respond to one or all of these three motives … whether it results in justice or not!

What must YOU learn from this?

It’s really quite simple.

Knowing how judges think gives you a competitive edge in court, because you won’t go to court naively believing justice is the only motive that controls what judges do. Judges get out of bed on the wrong side, just like other people. Judges favor their lawyer friends, and tend more often to rule against “out of town” lawyers or pro se people they won’t be sharing cocktails with at the next local bar association function. They are human! Plan on human behavior, if you want to win!

You must control the judge at all times!

That’s right!

And, our popular, affordable Jurisdictionary course will show you how … with step-by-step examples an average 8th grader can learn and understand in just 24 hours.

If you fail to understand clearly how judges think, you’ll not know how to prepare and prosecute your case. You’ll not know why winners do certain things a certain way. You’ll be blindsided by opponents who do know how judges think, opponents who plan on the way judges think, opponents who will take advantage of knowing how judges think … and that all works against you!

Don’t be naive!

There’s a lot more to this topic than I can cover in a single weekly Tips & Tactics. If you already have our course, you’ll understand why this is so very, very important. If you don’t yet have our course, now is the time to order and prepare to fight with the knowledge-power that separates winners from losers.

Remember: Winners in court are the ones who know the most — and that includes knowing how judges think!

My affordable step-by-step course will explain the official rules in such a simplified way that an average 8th grader can grasp it all in just 24 hours.

The 5-hour Video Seminar alone is worth the price, but you get much, much more with the complete course … a 2½ hour Audio Classroom on 2 CDs you can play in your car or in any audio CD player … plus 15 in-depth, popular, and powerful tutorials that explain every aspect of court tools and tactics, motions, pleadings, getting evidence, courtroom objections, complaints, defenses, etc.

In a word, Jurisdictionary works!

Not all judges are corrupt, stupid, or unfairly biased. In my 23 years of experience, I met very few who were truly evil. Most were demanding, however, and all of them insisted on making everyone follow the rules!

If you don’t understand the rules and how to use them to control the court, how can you possibly hope to win?

It’s not the judge’s job to help you! Face it. How would you feel if the judge helped the other side? That’s not how the courts operate.

It’s up to YOU to learn the rules and how to use them!

And there is absolutely nothing you will find on the internet or at any bookstore or legal guru seminar that comes even close to giving you so much practical, experience-based, legal knowledge-power as Jurisdictionary does. You’ll learn more in less time and for less money. Why attend seminars put on by people who never went to law school and never practiced law for a living? Doesn’t make sense to do so, when you can get your lawsuit knowledge from an experienced lawyer for less money and in less time!

You have a right to know how the rules of court work! It angers me that the public is kept in the dark about the rules of court. It angers me that lawyers get away with murder in cases involving pro se litigants, because there has never been any effort whatsoever to teach Americans the rules that rule our courts. You have a right to know the rules of court, but until we force our schools to teach law as a required subject at every grade level, you must learn the rules on your own!

Indeed, you cannot win without knowing the rules!

Corrupt judges and crooked lawyers can be forced to obey the rules so you can win in court … only if you know the rules and how to use them tactically and strategically to demand that justice prevail!

Get the judge on your side!

Thanks to Jurisdictionary, learning how to use the rules to control judges and lawyers is easy to learn!

You may find this hard to believe, however today’s law schools don’t teach law students what it takes to win! They don’t teach how to use the rules of evidence and rules of procedure to overcome crooked lawyers and control corrupt, arrogant, high-minded judges, because it isn’t “politically correct” to tell the truth about this “profession”. But, knowing how to control judges and overcome crooked lawyers is what it’s all about!

The typical lawyer will play every dirty trick in the book, but it’s not a judge’s job to interfere. The judge is not allowed to interfere. But! You can prevent the lawyer on the other side from getting away with his or her dirty tricks once you know how to force the judge to put a stop to it using the RULES!

There’s a reason why there are more critical jokes about lawyers than all the rest of the professions combined! You cannot afford to let lawyers side-step the rules and destroy your future, your finances, and your family!

Learn how to force the judge to enforce the rules!

Know the truth that law schools refuse to teach!

Learn how to use official court rules in an effective, tactical manner that demands compliance and obtains justice for you!

Jurisdictionary will show you how in just 24 hours!

Law schools teach 3 years of theory, but many professors never practiced law, and those who have any experience in court are teaching instead of doing. Ask yourself why. A good lawyer can make several times what a tenured law professor can pull down teaching. Do the math!

This is good news for you!

In reality, perhaps a majority of lawyers don’t have a clue what they’re doing … so, once you know what the 24-hour Jurisdictionary course teaches step-by-step, you’ll actually have an advantage … because you’ll know what law schools refuse to teach!

Due process isn’t difficult at all, but it is an axe fight!

Sharpen your axe with Jurisdictionary!

Nothing else works!

Even if you have thousands to pay lawyers to go to court for you, Jurisdictionary can save you money by showing you what your lawyer should be doing to earn his or her pay.

If you can’t afford a lawyer (or don’t trust them) then this affordable 24-hour step-by-step course is just what you need to protect your God-given rights from abuse.

Learn the process of due process that lawyers don’t want you to know … and stand up for your rights effectively!

And, nobody makes it easier than Jurisdictionary!

Do what Jurisdictionary teaches, and you’ll be pleasantly surprised when you find the judge is on your side!
