Common Law Handbook: For Juror’s, Sheriff’s, Bailiff’s, and Justice’s
“ONLY THE PEOPLE” CAN SAVE AMERICA WILL YOU? THEN REGISTER WITH THE “NATIONAL REGISTRY” At www.NationalLibertyAlliance.org to become a common law Jurist. We are establishing Common Law Grand Juries in all 3,141 counties in the United States of America. By doing this the people will move our Courts back to “Courts of Justice” and take 100% control of our government. Watch the video “Power of the Grand Jury.” THE DUTY OF THE “COMMON LAW GRAND JURY is to right any wrong. If anyone’s unalienable rights have been violated, or removed, without a legal sentence of their peers, the Grand Jury can restore them. In addition, if a dispute shall arise concerning this matter it shall be settled according to the judgment of the Grand Jurors, the Sureties of the peace. IN A US SUPREME COURT STUNNING 6 TO 3 DECISION JUSTICE ANTONIN SCALIA, writing for the majority, confirmed that the American grand jury is neither part of the judicial, executive nor legislative branches of government, but instead belongs to the people. It is in effect a fourth branch of government “governed” and “administered” directly by and on behalf of the American people, and its authority emanates from the “Bill of Rights” and has the power to enforce law and remove people from PUBLIC office. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Q: Once I register what happens next? A: If you want to be an active full time or part time Grand Jurist notify one of your county coordinators and they will assist you, you can find them listed under county coordinator at www.NationalLibertyAlliance.org – Otherwise your name will go into the jury pool and you will receive a phone call occasionally to participate as a trial or grand jurist. Q: Do I have to serve when I get the call? A: No. If you cannot participate at that time, we will recycle your name, no questions asked. Q: When I am called how long will I be needed for? A: Usually 1-3 days, you will be given that information and the dates in order to decide if you can participate. Q: What do I do now? A: Go to www.NationalLibertyAlliance.org and Register. After you register you will be taken to an “Orientation Page” and you will be instructed further, please read carefully that page.Read more

The Purpose of a Common Law court Many people are plagued by the injustice of the courts, police, schools, banks, social services and the NHS.

European Human Rights Law: The Human Rights Act 1998 and the European Convention on Human Rights
The Human Rights Act 1998 imposes radical changes on UK law and practice: all statutes have to be reinterpreted to “read in” human rights, all public authorities (including the courts) have to comply with the European Convention on Human Rights – there is a new right of action against those who fail to do so – and breach of a Convention right is a defence in criminal and civil proceedings. The Act incorporates into UK law not only the Convention itself, but also the extensive case-law of the European Court and Commission of Human Rights. Presenting a detailed analysis of the Human Rights Act 1998 and the case law of the European Court and Commission of Human Rights, this book draws on all 1500 cases (reported and unreported) from Strasbourg which affect UK civil and criminal law. They are set out in a way designed to enable practitioners and advisers to concentrate on those cases most relevant to their area of practice.Read more

What About Law?: Studying Law at University
Most young people considering studying law, or pursuing a legal career, have very little idea of what learning law involves and how universities teach law to their students. The new edition of this book, which proved very popular when first published in 2007, provides a ‘taster’ for the study of law; a short, accessible presentation of law as an academic subject, designed to help 17- and 18-year old students and others decide whether law is the right choice for them as a university subject, or, if they have already made the choice, what to expect when they start their law degree. It helps answer the question ‘what should I study at university?’ and counters the perception that law is a dry, dull subject. “What About Law?” shows how the study of law can be fun, intellectually stimulating, challenging and of direct relevance to students. Using a case study approach, the book introduces prospective law students to the legal system, as well as to legal reasoning, critical thinking and argument. This is a book that should be in the library of every school with a sixth form, every college and every university, and it is one that any student about to embark on the study of law should read before they commence their legal studies. All of the authors have long experience in teaching law at Cambridge and elsewhere and all have also been involved, at various times, in advising prospective law students at open days and admissions conferences. Listed as one of the Six of the best law books that a future law student should read by the Guardian Law Online, 8th August 2012.Read more

Trial lawyer: “Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?” Doctor: “All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.”A judge in Kentucky was happy to dismiss a case before trial, “Quite frankly, I would have rather jumped naked off of a 12-foot stepladder into a five-gallon bucket of porcupines than have presided over a two-week trial of the dispute herein. A trial, which no doubt, would have made the jury more confused than a hungry baby in a topless bar and made the parties and their attorneys madder than mosquitoes in a mannequin factory.”

Unlawful Killings: Life, Love and Murder: Trials at the Old Bailey – The instant Sunday Times bestseller
THE INSTANT SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE CWA GOLD DAGGER FOR NON-FICTION 2023‘Wendy Joseph’s gripping account of the law at work reads like a cliffhanger.’ Sunday Times
‘Absolutely superb. 5 stars for sheer readability alone. Her Honour entertains as she educates us about murder, about the law and about how we human beings are shaped as we create the culture we live with.’ PHILIPPA PERRY, author of THE BOOK YOU WISH YOUR PARENTS HAD READ
___________________________________________________________________________________
‘Every day in the UK lives are suddenly, brutally, wickedly taken away. Victims are shot or stabbed. Less often they are strangled or suffocated or beaten to death. Rarely they are poisoned, pushed off high buildings, drowned or set alight. Then there are the many who are killed by dangerous drivers, or corporate gross negligence. There are a lot of ways you can kill someone. I know because I’ve seen most of them at close quarters.’High-profile murder cases all too often grab our attention in dramatic media headlines – for every unlawful death tells a story. But, unlike most of us, a judge doesn’t get to turn the page and move on. Nor does the defendant, or the family of the victim, nor the many other people who populate the court room.
And yet, each of us has a vested interest in what happens there. And while most people have only the sketchiest idea of what happens inside a Crown Court, any one of us could end up in the witness-box or even in the dock.
With breath-taking skill and deep compassion, the author describes how cases unfold and illustrates exactly what it’s like to be a murder trial judge and a witness to human good and bad. Sometimes very bad.
The fracture lines that run through our society are becoming harder and harder to ignore. From a unique vantage point, the author warns that we do so at our peril.

About This Legal English Book
Your writing is often the first and last impression you will leave in a professional interaction. While mastering it can open doors and make your path to success smoother, ignoring it can close doors and ruin potential opportunities for you. Your writing is too important to mess up when discussing legal and business matters.
In the legal world, different levels of communication take place, each one requiring different styles and approaches. For example, drafting contracts does not require the same approach as writing an email or an opinion. This book will help you not only write more professionally by understanding the nuts and bolts of English within legal contexts, but it will also help you decide when and how to use each tool.
“Know your context as well as your audience.”
Like everything in life, not all writing is created equal. The same piece of writing can be a game-changing asset or a major liability, depending on when, where, and how we deploy it. We must always pay attention to context.
When you approach a piece of writing in a legal setting, the first thing to do is to decide exactly what you want from the exchange and what the context is. This is particularly important because you don’t have the benefit of body language or facial expressions when you write. People also tend to forget verbal exchanges more readily, but the written word is powerful.“The pen is “mightier than the sword…” – Edward Bulwer-Lytton
and people will judge you based on how you use your pen.Master Legal English for Lawyers: English Writing, Grammar & Punctuation for Law, provides a structured framework under which lawyers, law students, and other law professionals can significantly improve their knowledge of English to become more confident and effective writers.
You will be taken through the language structures that tend to create the most problems in the real-world and encouraged to review them through highly targeted grammar exercises, which focus on developing, not only your grammar skills, but also your competence and confidence in international legal communication.
The last section of this book, contains access to a large selection of legal templates to guide you through drafting contracts, letters, affidavits and many other documents. It will be an invaluable resource for your studies and career in the legal arena.
