Learn 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!

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!

Don’t be taken in by internet gurus who don’t teach the rules of court that control judges and everyone else in court, because they don’t know the rules or how to use them.

Dr. Sam Vaknin is an Israeli psychologist.  Interesting view on our new president.

Dr Vaknin has written extensively about narcissism.
‘narcissism’  noun. exaggerated self-admiration; exaggerated self-love.

Dr. Vaknin States “I must confess I was impressed by Sen.Barack Obama from the first time I saw him.  At first I was excited to see a black candidate.  He looked youthful, spoke well, appeared to be confident – a wholesome presidential package.  I was put off soon, not just because of his shallowness but also because there was an air of haughtiness in his demeanor that was unsettling.  His posture and his body language were louder than his empty words. Obama’s speeches are unlike any political speech we have heard in American history.  Never a politician in this land had such quasi “religious” impact on so many people.  The fact that Obama is a total incognito with zero accomplishment, makes this inexplicable infatuation alarming. Obama is not an ordinary man.  He is not a genius. In fact he is quite ignorant on most important subjects.”      Barack Obama is a narcissist.

Dr. Sam Vaknin, the author of the Malignant Self Love believes “Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist.”  Vaknin is a world authority on narcissism.  He understands narcissism and describes the inner mind of a narcissist like no other person.  When he talks about narcissism everyone listens.  Vaknin says that Obama’s language, posture and demeanor, and the testimonies of his closest, dearest and nearest suggest that the Senator is either a narcissist or he may have narcissistic personality disorder (NPD).  Narcissists project a grandiose but false image of themselves. Jim Jones, the charismatic leader of People’s Temple, the man who led over 900 of his followers to cheerfully commit mass suicide and even murder their own children was also a narcissist. David Koresh, Charles Manson, Joseph Koni, Shoko Asahara, Stalin, Saddam, Mao,Kim Jong Ill and Adolph Hitler are a few examples of narcissists of our time.  All these men had a tremendous influence over their fanciers. They created a personality cult around themselves and with their blazing speeches elevated their admirers, filled their hearts with enthusiasm and instilled in their minds a new zest for life.  They gave them hope!  They promised them the moon, but alas, invariably they brought them to their doom.  When you are a victim of a cult of personality, you don’t know it until it is too late.  One determining factor in the development of NPD is childhood abuse.

His parents went through a divorce when he was an infant (two years old).   Obama saw his father only once again, before he died in a car accident.   Then his mother re-married and Obama had to relocate to Indonesia, a foreign land with a radically foreign culture, to be raised by a step-father.

At the age of ten, he was whisked off to live with his maternal (white)grandparents. He saw his mother only intermittently in the following few years and then she vanished from his life in 1979.  She died of cancer in 1995″.

One must never underestimate the manipulative genius of pathological narcissists.  They project such an imposing  personality that it overwhelms those around them.  Charmed by the charisma of the narcissist, people become like clay in his hands.   They cheerfully do his bidding and delight to be at his service.   The narcissist shapes the world around himself and reduces others in his own inverted image. He creates a cult of personality.  His admirers become his co-dependents Narcissists have no interest in things that do not help them to reach their personal objective.   They are focused on one thing alone and that is power.   All other issues are meaningless to them and they do not want to waste their precious time on trivialities.  Anything that does not help them is beneath them and do not deserve their attention.

If an issue raised in the Senate does not help Obama in one way or another, he has no interest in it.   The “present” vote is a safe vote. No one can criticize him if things go wrong.  Those issues are unworthy by their very nature because they are not about him.  Obama’s election as the first black president of the Harvard Law Review led to  a contract and advance to write a book about race relations.

The University of Chicago Law School provided him a lot longer than expected and at the end it evolved into, guess what?   His own autobiography!   Instead of writing a scholarly paper focusing on race relations, for which he had been paid, Obama could not resist writing about his most sublime self.  He entitled the book Dreams from My Father.

Not surprisingly, Adolph Hitler also wrote his own autobiography when he was still nobody.  So did Stalin.   For a narcissist no subject is as important as his own self.   Why would he waste his precious time and genius writing about insignificant things when he can write about such an august being as himself?  Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless As the norm, they lack conscience.  This is evident from Obama’s lack of interest in his own brother who lives on only one dollar per month.

A man who lives in luxury, who takes a private jet to vacation in Hawaii, and who has raised nearly half a billion dollars for his campaign (something unprecedented in history) has no interest in the plight of his own brother.  Why?  Because, his brother cannot be used for his ascent to power.

A narcissist cares for no one but himself.  This election is like no other in the history of America. The issues are insignificant compared to what is at stake.  What can be more dangerous than having a man bereft of conscience, a serial liar, and one who cannot distinguish his fantasies from reality as the leader of the free world?  I hate to sound alarmist, but one is a fool if one is not alarmed. Many politicians are narcissists. They pose no threat to others…They are simply self serving and selfish.

Obama evidences symptoms of pathological narcissism, which is different from the run-of-the-mill narcissism of a Richard Nixon or a Bill Clinton for example.  To him reality and fantasy are intertwined. This is a mental health issue, not just a character flaw.

Pathological narcissists are dangerous because they look normal and even intelligent. It is this disguise that makes them treacherous.

Today the Democrats have placed all their hopes in Obama.   But this man could put an end to their party.   The great majority of blacks have also decided to vote for Obama.   Only a fool does not know that their support for him is racially driven.   This is racism, pure and simple. The downside of this is that if Obama turns out to be the disaster I predict, he will cause widespread resentment among the whites.

The blacks are unlikely to give up their support   of their man. Cultic mentality is pernicious and unrelenting.  They will dig their heads deeper in the sand and blame Obama’s detractors of racism. This will cause a backlash among the whites.

The white supremacists will take advantage of   the discontent and they will receive widespread support.   I predict that in less than four years, racial tensions will increase to levels never seen since the turbulent 1960′s.

Obama will set the clock back decades… America is the bastion of freedom.  The peace of the world depends on the strength of America, and its weakness translates into the triumph of terrorism and victory of rogue nations.

It is no wonder that Ahmadinejad, Hugo Chavez, the Castroists, the Hezbollah, the Hamas, the lawyers of the Guantanamo terrorists and virtually all sworn enemies of America are so thrilled by the prospect of their man in the White House. America is on the verge of destruction.
There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as president.

A. Guns save more lives than they take; prevent more injuries than they inflict

• Guns used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense. Law-abiding citizens use guns to defend themselves against criminals as many as 2.5 million times every year — or about 6,850 times a day.1 This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives.2
• Handguns are the weapon of choice for self-defense. Citizens use handguns to protect themselves over 1.9 million times a year.8 Many of these self-defense handguns could be labeled as “Saturday Night Specials.”
• Of the 2.5 million times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, the overwhelming majority merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8% of the time, a citizen will kill or wound his/her attacker.3
• As many as 200,000 women use a gun every year to defend themselves against sexual abuse.4
• Even anti-gun Clinton researchers concede that guns are used 1.5 million times annually for self-defense. According to the Clinton Justice Department, there are as many as 1.5 million cases of self-defense every year. The National Institute of Justice published this figure in 1997 as part of “Guns in America” — a study which was authored by noted anti-gun criminologists Philip Cook and Jens Ludwig.5
• Armed citizens kill more crooks than do the police. Citizens shoot and kill at least twice as many criminals as police do every year (1,527 to 606).6 And readers of Newsweek learned that “only 2 percent of civilian shootings involved an innocent person mistakenly identified as a criminal. The ‘error rate’ for the police, however, was 11 percent, more than five times as high.”7

B. Concealed carry laws help reduce crime

• Nationwide: one-half million self-defense uses. Every year, as many as one-half million citizens defend themselves with a firearm away from home.9
• Concealed carry laws are dropping crime rates across the country. A comprehensive national study determined in 1996 that violent crime fell after states made it legal to carry concealed firearms. The results of the study showed:
• States which passed concealed carry laws reduced their murder rate by 8.5%, rapes by 5%, aggravated assaults by 7% and robbery by 3%;10 and
• If those states not having concealed carry laws had adopted such laws in 1992, then approximately 1,570 murders, 4,177 rapes, 60,000 aggravated assaults and over 11,000 robberies would have been avoided yearly.11
• Vermont: one of the safest five states in the country. In Vermont, citizens can carry a firearm without getting permission… without paying a fee… or without going through any kind of government-imposed waiting period. And yet for ten years in a row, Vermont has remained one of the top-five, safest states in the union — having three times received the “Safest State Award.”12
• Florida: concealed carry helps slash the murder rates in the state. In the fifteen years following the passage of Florida’s concealed carry law in 1987, over 800,000 permits to carry firearms were issued to people in the state.13 FBI reports show that the homicide rate in Florida, which in 1987 was much higher than the national average, fell 52% during that 15-year period — thus putting the Florida rate below the national average. 14
• Do firearms carry laws result in chaos? No. Consider the case of Florida. A citizen in the Sunshine State is far more likely to be attacked by an alligator than to be assaulted by a concealed carry holder.
  1. During the first fifteen years that the Florida law was in effect, alligator attacks outpaced the number of crimes committed by carry holders by a 229 to 155 margin.2. And even the 155 “crimes” committed by concealed carry permit holders are somewhat misleading as most of these infractions resulted from Floridians who accidentally carried their firearms into restricted areas, such as an airport.15

C. Criminals avoid armed citizens

• Kennesaw, GA. In 1982, this suburb of Atlanta passed a law requiring heads of households to keep at least one firearm in the house. The residential burglary rate subsequently dropped 89% in Kennesaw, compared to the modest 10.4% drop in Georgia as a whole.16
• Ten years later (1991), the residential burglary rate in Kennesaw was still 72% lower than it had been in 1981, before the law was passed.17
• Nationwide. Statistical comparisons with other countries show that burglars in the United States are far less apt to enter an occupied home than their foreign counterparts who live in countries where fewer civilians own firearms. Consider the following rates showing how often a homeowner is present when a burglar strikes:
• Homeowner occupancy rate in the gun control countries of Great Britain, Canada and Netherlands: 45% (average of the three countries); and,
• Homeowner occupancy rate in the United States: 12.7%.18
• Rapes averted when women carry or use firearms for protection
• Orlando, FL. In 1966-67, the media highly publicized a safety course which taught Orlando women how to use guns. The result: Orlando’s rape rate dropped 88% in 1967, whereas the rape rate remained constant in the rest of Florida and the nation.19
• Nationwide. In 1979, the Carter Justice Department found that of more than 32,000 attempted rapes, 32% were actually committed. But when a woman was armed with a gun or knife, only 3% of the attempted rapes were actually successful.20

Justice Department study:
3/5 of felons polled agreed that “a criminal is not going to mess around with a victim he knows is armed with a gun.”21
74% of felons polled agreed that “one reason burglars avoid houses when people are at home is that they fear being shot during the crime.”22
57% of felons polled agreed that “criminals are more worried about meeting an armed victim than they are about running into the police.”23
