Many people enter courtrooms daily with a feeling that they will obtain justice in American courtrooms with fair hearings and impartial trials. As many litigants leave the very same doors, they often have a perspective drastically different about the competence and integrity of the legal system in its' entirety. Unfortunately, entering an American courtroom armed only with the truth or on an ideal of what is morally right is no longer enough as the systems originally created by our forefathers to be impartial are plagued with procedures, rules, conflicts of interests, and more that only seem to benefit lawyers, judges, and state actors.
An understanding of court rules, statutes, rules of evidence, investigation procedures, and more are all necessary to properly understand how to properly represent yourself in the courtroom, but more importantly how to monitor representation if you are paying for it. It is best to study up this type of information before retaining an attorney or entering a courtroom.

We need to have transparently operating court systems that are not bound by contracts to perform for other branches of the government and also court systems that are not so focused on revenue generation for themselves and the other branches of the various levels of government. In the interim it is imperative to understand and guard yourself against lawyers that are merely guiding you through an administrative system quickly rather than advocating for you judicially completely.
If you have specific information in the state court information that you would like added, just email us at getyourjusticelive@sbcglobal.net and we will consider it for the public resource pages. By increasing the information available to the general public, it increases the level of competence and thereby raises the integrity of the courts where litigants can police judicial activities.
