The thing about having an attorney is sometimes they don't make your argument for you. What a lot of attorneys don't talk about is how compromised they are. Someone push the envelope because they're afraid that the judge will never rule in their if they fight for their client, when they're being told to stand down. I wish more the attorneys would talk about the and collusion btwn judges & attorneys
This was helpful. Thank you.
It would be so helpful if the court office displayed a poster that showed the SRL where these rules and procedures are located as well as where the forms are located. Thank you!
I agree! The Ontario court forms are here: ontariocourtforms.on.ca/en/
You can find Ontario Superior Court, family court and Small Claims court forms here.
*caution: it may be tricky to figure out which court you should go to, and which forms to fill out. It's best to consult with a lawyer (or paralegal if your matter is in Small claims court) to see whether you are in the right court and filling out the right forms!*
@@LitigationHelp Any poster with any resource is better than nothing. Nothing is what is currently provided based on a fear that providing resources is considered offering legal advice.
Agree. Legal system has tried to hide things from pro se. People are forced to pro se when lawyers are lazy! And greedy. Nothing else. Bye bye lawyers! AI is here. Move on!
Title 16 USC sec 1025.0 has step by step guidance for the process
Because no one that works for the government can give you any kind of advice or assistance to help you with your case filing or any of the documents you have to file
Thank you for this helpful information.
Glad it was helpful!
I was a self-represented litigant in 2009 and again in 2016. I've noticed that the Judge involved in my latter case was more tolerant of my mistakes and brushed it off as confusion by a self-represented litigant. I'm wondering if Judges recieved a memo asking them to do that sort of thing
Judges and the clerks tend to âcorrect you as you go alongâ as a Pro Se litigant IF IF the Judge sees that your filings are on time and youâre doing exactly what they ask you to do.
This lawyerâs advice on a particular color in the brief must be applicable to a specific court rules of procedure. He also is pushing âus lawyersâ meaning you need a lawyer when you DONT!!
Where are the rules of civil procedure for other provinces - like Saskatchewan? Thanks!
Unfortunately, there is no one place where all the rules are listed.For your example, I did a very quick Google search, and found this page for Saskatchewan: sasklawcourts.ca/index.php/home/court-of-queen-s-bench/rules-and-practice-directives
BUT!! Please note though that this may NOT be the one and only correct answer. This is because depending on the subject matter, the litigation in Saskatchewan may need to be heard in a tribunal, or perhaps even in a Federal Court. It's always recommended when beginning a lawsuit, to consult with a lawyer first.
This must be for Canada
I didn't know about the different colours of pages? or text? for applicant and respondent.
What solutions would you pit forth for Pro Se? You made a lot of comments of what is wrong, what is the solution?
**** IT WOULD HELP THST THE AUDIO IS CALIBRATED TO THE VIDEO********
What dose merit mean.
Thanks for your question! In litigation, the term "merit of the case" is related to the substance of the case, as opposed to the procedures of the court process. Let's take a breach of contract case as an example. So if I am concerned about the merits of the case, I am concerned about how good my case is in this breach of contract. I would be concerned about such things like whether I still have the actual contract document, whether it is signed by both parties etc. However, often, during a lawsuit, parties can also argue about the other side not following the rules or the procedure. A case can be dismissed if the rules are not followed, before a judge even hears about the details related to the breach of contract!
Thank G*d for AI!
Go pay for a lawyer. Don't do it. Save up. Lol
You interrupt too much and cut off the educational part. Uh huh mmh huh
