Download or read book Understanding the Law written by Attorney Charles Jerome Ware and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The attorney-client relationship is one of the most important and delicate relationships in all of legaldom (if there is such a word). Lawyers cannot exist without clients. With rare exceptions, clients cannot make it without lawyers. The foundation of the attorney-client relationship is trust. Without the element of trust between the client and the attorney, the relationship simply will not work out. I am reminded of the story about the man who hated to worry about anything and went looking for a surrogate worrier. He approached a lawyer about the issue and said: Potential client: "I would like to retain your services. I'll give a thousand dollars if you will do the worrying for me." Lawyer: "That's fine. I'll do it. Now where's the thousand dollars?" Potential client: "That's your first worry." Trust works both ways in an attorney-client relationship. In order for an attorney to help the client, the attorney needs to know everything about the client's problem or issue. Most clients do not understand that, or simply ignore this point. In any event, few clients abide by it. To encourage clients to speak freely and reveal all to their lawyer concerning their problem or issue, the law grants an absolute attorney-client privilege. Whatever the client tells the lawyer about his or her case is secret and strictly confidential. Only with the client's expressed permission can the attorney reveal this secret and confidential information.

Book excerpt: Common law is the unwritten law, the will of mankind issuing from the life of the people. It existed long before the state or federal government or the Constitution. The law is cause no harm or loss to another man. It is so simple children can comprehend it. Do no harm, injury, or damage to life, liberty, or property of another is the only man made law binding on all.The only law mentioned in the Constitution for the United States of America is common law. Common law works the same in any common law country when it is based on Magna Carta and the Common Law of the people of England. The purpose of my book is to educate Americans on their common law heritage as it stands today.All of our courts are courts of record. A court of record doesn't simply mean the court is recording what you say, although that is what the legal system would sometimes have you believe. What it really means is that the court proceeds at common law without statutes or codes. Then why do courts seem to use statutes and codes? Courts designated as courts of record may act as statutory courts unless a party to a case objects. But who knew you can object to the court using statutes?The authority of a court of record at the common law comes from unalienable fundamental rights and may not be submitted to vote, and is not dependent on the Constitution or the outcome of elections. Courts of record proceed according to the course of the common law, without the aid of a statute or code. [Corpus Juris Secundum vol 25 section 344 ].Inferior courts are any courts that use statutes or codes. "Inferior courts" are those whose jurisdiction is limited and special and whose proceedings are not according to the course of the common law." [cf. Ex Parte Kearny, 55 Cal. 212; Smith v. Andrews, 6 Cal. 652]. Inferior criminal legislative and civil administrative courts may be sued directly, collaterally by a court of record at common law review without appealing, thus voiding inferior orders and judgments [c.f. Corpus Juris Vol XVII § § 3265-3268 (1919)].The "judge" has no discretion in a court of record at common law, and can only do ministerial functions, such as signing your orders. No judgment of a court of record can be appealed to the Supreme Court or an inferior court except by the rules of common law. There is no higher court. "The judgment of a court of record whose jurisdiction is final is as conclusive on all the world as the judgment of this Court would be. It is as conclusive on this Court as on other courts. It puts an end to inquiry concerning the fact by deciding it." - Chief Justice Marshall. Ex Parte Watkins, 28 U.S. 3 Pet. 193 (1830)."It is not possible to move a single step in any judicial or legislative proceeding, or to execute any part of our statutes, or of our constitution, without having recourse to the common law." [cf. 8 U.S. 75 (1807)].Constitutions can never establish Common Law, for then all Power would not be in the People, but would be in the Constitution which is only a piece of paper, and the People's right to redress grievances or to amend, change, or address any problem could not be. Governments are mere pieces of paper to be altered and changed to the whim of the living souls. Corporations are mere pieces of paper that government can change and alter at its whim.
