This is a good teaching for self rep litigants. However, I found out the counsels and the court sometimes make it very hard for self rep litigants so that they can no longer move on.
Its a good point. Courts can give some leeway, but again, there is a set of rules that are designed to promote a fair process. Court's cannot just push those aside. Steve
This was super helpful! I was struggling to understand this rule in class and with the assistance of any supplemental videos. The visuals, the descriptions, the examples were exactly what I need to understand. Definitely subscribing!
thank you very much for this video I sincerely appreciate it, after watching I now have a full understanding on how to write my complaints to avoid having to amend, I also learned that its very important to do my research on which court to file my complaint making sure its in jurisdiction of the defendants place of business, but once again thank you I will continue to watch and support your channel.
Yes Attorney Steve this IS the best channel out there. I have become a fierce litigator from your videos. Opposing two attorneys tomorrow. Is it better to provide less facts with more weight or more facts with less weight? I'm gonna raise 28 Aff Defenses tho. Raise or waive. Appreciate you.
LOVE TO HEAR - thanks Jennifer and good luck. Personally, I like to stick to the key facts, but every judge is different with the leeway they give!! Tear it up with confidence!!! SV
This is awesome! :) I teach law to undergrads, and this breaks otherwise nebulous concepts down nicely, and ties them up in a nice, neat bow! Very cool!
I was denied a motion to dismiss in State Court . . Question . . Should the judge give an explanation as to why it was denied? He just responded (by mail) saying it was denied but gave me no reason ! Also, the logical next question is how to deal with such an answer? Should I file another motion asking for a reason of his denial? Or what is recommended? Thanks in advance for your response.
I have been studying this for the last two weeks for the Legal Translation course of study and it was not until I watched your video that I realized that a 12 (b) Motion to Dismiss is actually filed with a FEDERAL Court only and a DEMURRER is filed with a STATE Court! Thanks for clarifying this!! So, all Federal Rules of Civil Procedure apply only to the Federal Court System and not the State Courts? And if so, are there any rules that apply to State Courts only?
I understand that there is no any deadlines about the Judge's decision over the MTD however, my question is, based on your experience, if the Judge haven't ruled on MTD for six month in FTCA claim is it usual or rather unusial situation?
My spouse's attorney issued a demand for documents from me, but my spouse's name was one the envelope. So I gave it to her and the envelope sat for four or five days. I responded within the the 35 day requirement from the time I received the request, however, not on time from the day my spouse's attorney claim's I received it. The attorney is now claiming I owe him $5,000 in legal fees for failure to respond. What term do I need to use in filing papers and court to deny the attorney's claims. As I see it the attorney caused the issues by using the wrong name and also his motion to compel is full of factual errors about dates and claims that I have not turned over any paperwork at all. Thank you in advance for your help.
@ ~6:25, you mean at 12(b)(7) rule violation, right? Question: So, for 12(b)(6), if the United States Department of Education [1] sued me in a Federal court (claiming I owe student monies despite six years passing and no fraud relative to the Contracts Dispute Act) and [2] I filed a 12(b)(6) response, then it would be it be obvious, by the time the motion is to be heard, that the Contracts Dispute Act applies and the United States Department of Education's lawsuit need be thrown out? I have a hard time figuring out how an adjudicator would put it together from just the simple wording of a motion of what chain of premises help substantiate the initial premises of a claim (or assertion) of a motion to dismiss. Thank you for reading.
Hi there, quick question I am the plaintiff. I file a small claim law suit against a insurance co. They file a motion to dismiss with prejudice, because Nevada doesn't recognize third party bad faith claims, because Insurance client perform awful repairs to my car without my authorization. Now I have to write a opposition letter. This is we're I'm stuck. How can I write this letter in the most simple way in order for the court to continue with my case. I would appreciate your help
Steve I would love to have one of your videos using your whiteboard talking about slander and defamation. Educating the public about being careful what they post as far as negative reviews on any site fake shoes. I would put that video on the homepage of our website when we launch it. Touch base with me anytime
I would like to talk to you when you get a chance to Chat with you about this website that I’m going to launch it’s going to get a lot of recognition on the Internet and I would love to see this video talking about defamation and slander and how a consumer could be easily a target for these type of cases depending on what they post on reviews sides of their choice
Steve Vondran I’ve seen so many negative reviews on the Internet I’m surprised businesses are not taking people to court because of slander or defamation statements on the Internet
Cool video! Question. What does it mean to be a licensed attorney? You’re a member of the BAR in each state? Or you actually apply for a license to practice law? I ask because no one seems to know the answer. Thanks in advance.
When you pass the bar (at an ABA approved law school - which is most people), you are eligible to sit for the bar exam in any of the states. When you pass the bar, (for example, in California), you become a member of the bar in that state. You can go on to add another state (as I did, and passed the bar in Arizona as well), but no, you do not automatically get all 50 states admissions. Hope that helps. Steve
Hate these freaking bastards. (Bastards= Rule 12 motions!) Another way for defense attorneys to bill their insurance/corporate/government clients. Battling a 1983 action WHERE ALL 21 DEFENDANTS HAVE FILED A RULE 12 MOTION!!!!!!! I compare these to the kid in grammar school who always picks on you. When you go to waylay him, he puts on his glasses and says, "Nyah, nyah, you can't hit me, I have glasses." Rule 12 motions are the glasses the irritating kid wears so you can't teach him a lesson. By the way, I have NEVER had opposing counsel in a "meet and confer" conference ever tell me anything except that I should dismiss my complaint. What crap!
I have a question I ask the judge for extension for the trial and he approved and set the date but the plaintiff opssed and want to have proof for my trip and deposit the money she is suing for ....can she do this .. do I have to provide her with all she asked or just the court ? Please advice
Wish you could point me in the right direction on a case.. Filed 10-9-2018 Federal Court date: 1-9-2019 Case# 2: 18-cv-2720 Parties have passed the 21 day federal order. Default and default applications would be next..
I was sitting in my vehicle outside my home listening to music. My car has 5% tints all around. Police drove past and circled back to my car. Made me get out and searched my car because they “smelled weed” driving past. Upon search of the car they found 5 grams of cannabis and a pistol. In the police report it said patrolling officers observed smoke coming from my sunroof and windows which is completely false do to me not smoking at all. Is this something I can get suppressed
I would say they had no probable cause to search or seize. And it illegal therfore they are not allowed to use that evidence against you. I am no attorney but after reading and having a lawsuit against the sheriff department they have no reason to pull you over if you car was stopp and parked keys out of the ignition then you have to read that on the report listen to the words they use.. just becuase they observed smoke from my window coming out it doesnt give them reason to believe a crime was being committed. What if you were were smoking a cigarette and you had nothing in the car it illegal search and seizure due to the fact that does not prove you were comitting crime and SUSPICION is not a crime..
Where is for-given in all of this ? I though it was paid by Jesus. What about this in court ? How does one explain this? Is sin si (g)nature ? Now how do we re-pen t? Does it have to do with one leaning on the other ? No one explains anything in these foreign languages. It's a lot of mis-construing of languages. One cannot be tried in a foreign language, so this all seems out of alignment to the average jo.
