These are video responses to questions I receive from international students, attorneys, and other professionals regarding law in the United States. My goal is to help people from countries other than the United States to understand the essential aspects of US law. Please feel free to get in touch with your own questions and comments.
Qualified immunity is a foolish idea that courts dreamed up so that cops aren't held to accountability when they make a mistake or break the law even on purpose. When that happens the public (you and me) are the ones who have to pay for those mistakes because fines and judgements are paid for with our tax dollars from city, county and state taxes. The cops who break the law don't have to pay because of qualified immunity. QI must be stopped. The bill to stop it has been tabled in congress by corrupt politicians. Write your congressmen/women.
Good question. There are at least two reasons. First, the idea is to make sure the judicial branch (federal court system) doesn't intrude on the powers of other branches of government - the legislative and executive branches. The courts can only hear certain types of cases and can't issue advisory opinions. Second, the requirement that the court can only hear actual cases and controversies helps prevent the courts from being overburdened. If anyone could bring a case without having suffered actual harm, we would encourage frivolous litigation where no one actually suffered an injury.
What can I do if the judge in circuit court has denied me due process? He is allowing the prosecutor to use recycled documents and holding me to a deferred prosecution agreement that I did not have any knowledge of or given a copy of until after the defense attorney had withdrawn from the case. I have tried to withdraw my plea and the judge refused the motion.
I FINALLY UNDERSTOOD WHAT INTERPLEADER IS! HOLY COW! Why is it needs to be English before being understood? Why wouldn't I get it with Filipino words? Thanks for the good animation
If David didn't see her enter the bank this can probably be objected to as speculation. If that's because Debbie told David she was going to the bank, this is hearsay but allowed under the "statement against interest" exception.
@@USLawEssentials I suppose they don't need the declaration because if one side brings it up it's almost by definition against the opposing party's interest.
@@Turalcar Right.I think the hearsay rules get a little odd (IMHO) but the distinctions are important if you're taking a law school exam or a bar exam.
The Supreme Court decisions in the 1920s cases of Fairchild v. Hughes and Frothingham v. Mellon were wrong as there is no concept to limit bring a case to just 3 requirements or even the term of “standing”. The Government can act without a Constitutional basis which the remedy will not be able to redress the grievance or grievances. Even the act of passing a law in Congress can create an injury to the States as the Legislature had no authority to pass a bill or act that was not already in its power. The Federal Government has passed too many laws, bills, and acts in contradiction to the powers that were reserved for the States.

Lets say a Judge didn't get a mandatory certificate to deal with cases that had to do with "tieing your shoe", (just a hypothetical).... And the deffendent objects to a lack of subject matter jurisdiction. Would the defendent be correct that the court doesn't have subject matter Jurisdiction because the Judge is not qualified by not having approved credentials?
It has been 65 days. He has not answered the questions that was sent to him. How do I write it asking the judge to put sanctions on him for not responding?
How do you file a motion to compel answers to indirect Tory? Can you send me a sample on how I should write it in word if I would appreciate it. Thank you
