The Rules in a Nutshell
Everyone gets to be heard.
Everyone gets to use the power of the court to obtain discovery of
evidence in support of his cause, i.e., to use the power of the sheriff if necessary to
compel the other side to answer questions under oath and to permit inspection of private
property. Everyone gets this power. Everyone. Absolutely everyone, not just a favored few
or those presently in political favor with people seated in the high places of public
government.
Courts must treat everyone equally. Everyone. Judges must hear
motions and give each litigant a fair opportunity to present evidence before entering
orders. Every litigant gets to exercise this right. Judges must, if moved by a litigant to
do so, cite the rule or authority upon which the judge predicates his orders. There are no
exceptions.
Everyone gets to complain about the way the courts are run.
Everyone gets to appeal frivolous, biased, unreasonable, or unlawful orders. Either the
rules are obeyed in court or the people have an absolute right to challenge those who sit
in judgment by appealing to the written law.
That's it. In a nutshell.
It's worth working for.
