Finding Your Way
The world of law has been
called a maze. One U.S. Supreme Court Justice called it a bramble bush. Others have
referred to it as a thicket. To some it's a slippery slope. It is the world of courts and
sheriffs. If you are involved in litigation or anticipate being drawn into a legal battle
any time in the near future, it is your world.
 Do you know how to find your way?
There are guideposts. The guideposts are easy to learn and understand.
They won't tell you where every bump and mud hole might be, however they will tell you how
to find your way from start to successful finish ... and, if you don't know where the
guideposts are to show the way, you will surely be lost when fighting against those who do
know.
If the guideposts were hard to learn, we wouldn't be here. There'd be
no Jurisdictionary. There'd just be you and your problem. No guidance. No common-sense.
No reason. No hope.
Fortunately for all of us, the guideposts are easily distinguished ...
and they work for everyone.
Imagine you are walking in an ancient forest as evening's early light
fades totally to black. You bump into trees. You stumble over fallen logs and twisted
roots. After trying to make progress and making none at all you sit on the ground and wait
for morning. This is how many people are when faced with a legal battle. They haven't a
clue how to get out of the forest. They sit on the promises of their lawyers and wait for
an uncertain victory.
There is another way.
Suppose just as the light fades to leave you in that inky-black
darkness you notice the strange glow of tall stakes that mark the borders of the path
ahead. As the night deepens, these stakes glow more brightly so that in the darkest hour
they make clear which way you must walk to safely reach your destination. The rest of the
forest is as black as the eternal pit. Your path is clearly marked.
That's what guideposts do ... they show the way.
In the laws of men there are many guideposts. Some are more important
than others. The most important should be taught to all your children, and your children
should be taught to teach them to their own children ... for they are the bedrock of
justice and the hope of future generations. Without them there can be no liberty for any
of us. With them firmly established and generally understood by the populace at large, we
can move more confidently through the dark forests ahead and trust we will reach our
hoped-for goals as human beings: peace, prosperity, liberty, and justice for all.
The purpose of Jurisdictionary is to teach these guideposts. How
to recognize them. How to use them. How to help others also find their way.
Spend an hour or so. Learn where the most important guideposts are that
mark the path to legal success.
Learn the rules.
Learn
the words.
Learn to find your way.
