My constitutional right to a remedy.
My Right to an E-transcript. It takes 2 only more clicks of the court reporter’s mouse.
Under U.S. Constitution IV, 2, I am entitled to Georgia, Illinois, and California rights
I am entitled to utilize the constitutional concepts expressed in foreign constitutions.
Fountains of Liberty: Magna Charta, 1948 Universal Declaration of Human rights.
I am a beneficiary of the rights declared by the California constitution.
The clerk and judge have usurped the prosecutorial function; that is wrong. Dismissal is the remedy.
A defendant may appear by motion - by paper.
A sworn written complaint is fundamental to due process.
Pleadings of Pro Se Litigants must be given some leeway

Brief Autobiography of Attorney Douglas Palaschak
Application for Writ of Mandate, or in the alternative, an Order to Show Cause.
I ask this court to compel Judge Smith to do the following:
1. Rule on my written motion to strike the perjurious complaint.
2. Strike the complaint until such time as a prosecutor signs it.
3. Quash the prosecution until such time as a duly elected prosecutor files a signed complaint instead of the perjurious complaint depicted in Exhibit 1 and at the following hyperlink: http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8535.pdf The notary seal says that the complaint is signed by the complaining witness. In fact it is not signed by the complaining witness. That much is patently obvious.
4. Order the delivery to me of e-transcripts for which I which have already paid and which have already been produced by the court reporter. They are on her computer.
5. Produce an e-copy of the case(s) on which he relied for his ruling and/ or from which he read in his oral announcement/ opinion which is in the e-transcript that the court reporter refuses to deliver to me.
6. Vacate his previous ruling regarding the validity of the perjurious complaint. Permit me to respond to his brief before he makes his decision. It is prejudicial for the judge to be doing the briefing for the prosecutor anyway.
Declaration of Petitioner Richard Wilson
I, Richard Wilson, declare the following under penalty of perjury:
Prologue: Statement of the underlying retaliatory traffic ticket case.
In December 2006 I was attending a meeting pertaining to the recall of my candidate on the county board. Filla waited for me outside the meeting. He was campaigning to recall my candidate. When I departed Officer Paul Filla signaled me to stop. He had no probable cause. Filla intended retaliation for my campaigning. This retaliation issue is not the issue of the instant application. Filla gave me a ticket for driving without a license. He handcuffed me, fingerprinted me and put me in jail until I bailed out.
The duly elected prosecutor declined to file a complaint against me - perhaps knowing that the court prosecutes tickets without a prosecutor.
There was no legal basis for this traffic stop/ ticket. Even if there had been a basis for the stop, a prosecutor would be required to make the decision to prosecute - not this clerk. I filed a motion #8332 to Quash on 5 Feb 2007. You can see this motion at http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8332.pdf The court ruled in my favor on 5 March 2007. That transcript of that March 5 court session can be seen at: http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8372.html . Court recorder/ transcriber Judy Jeck delivered an e-transcript to me. She thereby proved that an e-transcript can be done with a few key and mouse strokes.
On March 5 Judge Smith gave the prosecution 21 days to properly file an actual complaint and serve it on me. On 26 March an unknown person signed a patently perjurious complaint depicted in Exhibit 1and at the following hyperlink: http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8535.pdf The complaint bears the signature of Notary Christina Chapman. The written attestation above her signature attests that the complaint is signed by a complaining witness, but you can readily see that the complaining witness, Filla, has not signed the complaint.
Thereafter the court erroneously entered a plea for me prior to the filing of a valid complaint to which I could plea. The court has no jurisdiction to enter a plea until there is a valid complaint. Today there is no valid complaint. Thereafter the trial judge erroneously scheduled an omnibus hearing and sent for the arresting officer.
Thereafter I demanded that the trial court make a ruling on whether or not it had jurisdiction. The court did not respond to my demand. A court is entitled to rule on its own jurisdiction or not.
I have not yet been properly arraigned. Reason: The prosecutor has not yet filed a valid complaint. The most recent complaint does not bear the legible name of any prosecutor. This most recent complaint merely proves up perjury on the part of the notary public.

Transcript of February 5 court session: http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8372.html
I have struggled with the court recorder. She produced an e-transcript but refuses to delivery me one to me although I have already paid for it.
Surplusage: Notice of Concurrent and Upcoming Motions and Demands in trial court.
1. I will be filing a motion to suppress all evidence in this case.
2. Regarding the Pretextual Stop using the instrument of a vague and overbroad statute, I will be challenging the statute should that issue arise. The statute is defective: It says that people are required to have a license unless they are exempted. I will not devote legal effort in this regard until there is a valid complaint.
Declaration of Attorney Douglas Palaschak
I, Douglas Palaschak, declare the following under penalty of perjury: My biography is appended hereto. I am an expert in the law of the constitutional rights and the shortchanging thereof in traffic courts around the country. I have compiled a list of the methods of shortchanging at the following hyperlink: http://www.lawyerdude.8k.com/5724.html Failure of the court to deliver transcripts in a timely manner is #1 on my list. Institutional Elimination of Mens Re by the police/ prison/ drug war/ sex war/ military industrial complex industry is #3 on the list.
I talked on the telephone and exchanged email with the court recorder/ transcriber in this case. She admits having produced an e-transcript. She refuses to deliver it to Richard Wilson or anybody.
Judge Smith having previously ruled that the prosecution must file a signed complaint now overlooks the failure of the prosecution to file said signed complaint. Well, it is signed by somebody but it is defective due to patent perjury and must be stricken.
Without a transcript, Petitioner Wilson cannot explain to me what happened in court.
Without an e-transcript Petitioner Wilson cannot readily extract text from the transcript to relate to this Supreme Court in a brief.
I was frustrated to hear that Judge Smith did research for the case without a brief from the prosecutor. The judge is obligated to remain neutral. He may not be both judge and prosecutor.
By keeping his brief secret until he announced his opinion orally, the judge sandbagged Petitioner Wilson. He denied Petitioner Wilson due process. Wilson should have been permitted to rebut the brief of the opposition.
The judge presented his opinion orally - which exacerbates the problem of the absence of an e-transcript. Petitioner Wilson paid for all the transcripts. He has received paper copies but that requires him to key the entire transcript into the computer again. The court reporter could readily provide an e-transcript with a couple key strokes. Indeed a previous court recorder/ transcriber in this same case did indeed provide an e-transcript. That e-transcript is depicted at http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8489.html In fact an e-transcript saves the court reporter/ transcriber the trouble of printing and mailing a paper transcript for me.
Judge Smith cited as precedent cases which are not reported on the internet. He should have the courtesy to deliver an e-copy of the case - like I do for every case that I cite in my own briefs.
I am left wondering what happened. I have no transcript. I know the name of the case. It is burdensome to require a litigant to travel to a law library in a distant state to research and copy a case. Even if I were in a Kansas law library I would have to settle Xerox paper copies - a picture of the actual test. I would not have an e-copy. Judge Smith did not discuss any of this with Petitioner Wilson or me prior to dropping the surprise on Petitioner Wilson in court.
The action puts the icing on a string of denials of due process.

Argument. Memorandum of Points and Authorities.
This court has jurisdiction under Section 18 of the Kansas Bill of Rights, to wit: Justice without delay. All persons, for injuries suffered in person, reputation or property, shall have remedy by due course of law, and justice administered without delay.
On June 18th I filed a written demand that the court strike the complaint which contained patent perjury: This document is http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8618.pdf http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8618.html , http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8618.doc and http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8618.wpd The trial judge erred by going forward without a valid complaint. He erred by failing to strike the perjurious complaint. He erred by failing to even respond to my written motion to strike. He simply ignored me. That denies me due process.
As to the alleged signature of the prosecutor on the complaint of Exhibit 1, there is no name attached to the signature. Who signed it? For all we know the clerk could have signed it; indeed the clerk initiated prosecution without the prosecutor in the first place.
In Griffin v Illinois (1956)100 L Ed 891, 351 US 12, 79 S Ct 585, 55 ALR2d 1055 found at http://www.circuitlawyer.8m.com/griffin.html the U.S. Supreme Court announced that we are entitled to due process at every stage of the proceeding. “Take it up on appeal” is not good enough.
My remedy is neither speedy nor adequate without an e-transcript.
Without an e-transcript I cannot readily extract text from the transcript to relate to a higher court in a brief.
I cannot adequately apply for this very writ without an e-transcript.
I am employing out-of-state counsel - as is my right. Therefore I need a transcript to explain what happened in court. As to the right to employ out of state counsel, in June 2006 the U.S. Supreme Court reaffirmed that right in the case of U.S. v Gonzalez-Lopez 2005-352. Decided 2006. http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8345.html
Judge Smith did the prosecutor’s job by researching for the case without a brief from the prosecutor. Had the prosecution submitted a brief he would have submitted a brief to me and I would have had notice and opportunity to respond.
Judge Smith gave me no notice of his brief. I had no opportunity to respond.
The judge is obligated to remain neutral. He may not be both judge and prosecutor. That would be the Inquisitorial system. We are constitutionally obligated to use the adversarial system.
By keeping his brief secret until he announced his opinion orally, the judge denied me due process. I should have been permitted to rebut the brief of the opposition. I am not alleging any sinister secrecy. It is quite possible that the judge did not research on the case until the day that I was in court. I am merely alleging that he denied me due process. He ambushed me with a case that I could readily have rebutted given an adequate brief from the opposition - or from the judge if he is my opposition - which he should not be in the first place.
The judge presented his opinion orally - which would not be as bad if the court transcriber would deliver an e-transcript - for which I have already paid her in full.
Judge Smith cited as precedent cases which are not reported on the internet. He should have the courtesy to deliver an e-copy of the case(s) - like I do for every case that I cite in my own briefs.
I am left wondering what happened. I have no transcript. I know the name of the case but I don’t have the text of the case. It is burdensome to require a litigant to travel to a law library in a distant county or a distant state to research and copy a case. Even if I were in a Kansas law library I would have to make Xerox paper copies. I would not have an e-copy. Judge Smith did not discuss any of this with me prior to catching me off guard in court and reading his case into the record.
The judge and clerk have unconstitutionally usurped function of prosecutor; Motion to Quash is my remedy.
The clerk may not initiate prosecution. She did so in this case. Only upon my written motion was the prosecution ordered to actually file a complaint. Then they filed the perjurious complaint which is now before the court. Only the duly elected prosecutor may initiate a criminal prosecution. The court may not initiate prosecution. Neither may the court appoint someone to prosecute. Only the duly elected prosecutor or the attorney general may prosecute a criminal case. This is the holding of People v. Municipal Court (Real Party: Pellegrino) (1972) http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8453.html 27 CA3d 193 (Ventura, California). In Pellegrino a Ventura judge appointed a local lawyer to prosecute after the prosecutor declined to prosecute. The court of appeal ruled that the special prosecutor was unconstitutional.
The concept/ rule of “ exclusive province “ was reaffirmed in People v Kurt Albert Stapf (1999) http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8289.html . The Stapf case was overturned on appeal but the appeal was done by an appointed lawyer; the original opinion is better law.
The main purpose of government is to protect my rights; the traffic ticket system is categorically and inherently evil and unconstitutional.
The traffic ticket/ police court system in this country is fundamentally flawed. This is a structural flaw in the nomenclature of the U.S. Supreme Court. Even if I confess, the corpus delicti must be proven without regard to my confession.
The body of the crime must be proven without regard to my confession. This court violates that rule with every driver who pleads guilty.
Our state governments were each established to protect and maintain individual rights. Your traffic ticket system is mere barratry.
Authority: Washington bill of rights: § 1 Political Power. All political power is inherent in the people, and governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed, and are established to protect and maintain individual rights.
“The fundamental things apply as time goes by.” - Casablanca 1942.
The police state has arisen and granted itself the privilege to speed. This violates “our” California constitution:
§ 12 Special Privileges and Immunities Prohibited. No law shall be passed granting to any citizen, class of citizens, or corporation other than municipal, privileges or immunities which upon the same terms shall not equally belong to all citizens, or corporations.
My constitutional right to a remedy.
I have a right to a remedy. Thirty-five states include a “right to a remedy” in their constitution. Colorado is one such state. The list is at the following hyperlink: Constitutional Right to a Remedy http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8428.html
The Kansas Bill of Rights guarantees my right to a remedy - a remedy before a trial in this case.
§18 of the Kansas Bill of Rights: . Justice without delay. All persons, for injuries suffered in person, reputation or property, shall have remedy by due course of law, and justice administered without delay. http://skyways.lib.ks.us/KSL/ref/constitution/rights.html
The constitutions of other states contain similar clauses. Example: The Colorado constitution guarantees my right to a remedy for the clerk’s usurpation:
§ 6. Equality of justice. Courts of justice shall be open to every person, and a speedy remedy afforded for every injury to person, property or character; and right and justice should be administered without sale, denial or delay. - Colorado constitution.
Other state constitutions proclaims a right to a remedy:
Art. 1, section 21. Access to courts- The courts shall be open to every person for redress of any injury, and justice shall be administered without sale, denial or delay. - Florida Bill of Rights.
You can’t take away a driver license without a hearing. That’s what the Supreme Court said: Bell v Burson (1971) 402 US 535, 29 L Ed 2d 90, 91 S Ct 1586, http://www.circuitlawyer.8m.com/Burson.html http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/bursonb.html . Therefore the purported suspension by a mere high school graduate was void ab initio.
This void act was a legal nullity. Norton v Shelby County, Tennessee (1886) 118 U.S. 425 http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/norton.html
“An unconstitutional act is not a law; it confers no rights; it imposes no duties; it affords no protection; it creates no office; it is, in legal contemplation, as inoperative as though it had never been passed.” - The U.S. Supreme Court in Norton v Shelby (1886)
A void act does not become valid by the running of time.
My right to a transcript even if I cannot afford one is guaranteed by the Due Process and Equal Protection clauses of the U.S. Constitution. The Supreme court ruled so in Griffin v Illinois (1956)100 L Ed 891, 351 US 12, 79 S Ct 585, 55 ALR2d 1055 http://www.circuitlawyer.8m.com/griffin.html . The Supreme Court reaffirmed that right even in some civil cases in 1996. MLB v SLJ (1996) 519 US 102; 117 S Ct 555; 136 L Ed2d 473 http://www.circuitlawyer.8m.com/mlb.html
My Right to an E-transcript. It takes 2 only more clicks of the court reporter’s mouse.
California Rule of Court, rule (4)(f)(4): “On request, and unless the superior court orders otherwise, the reporter must provide any party with a copy of the reporter's transcript in computer-readable format.” http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/rules/titleone/title1-1-16.htm#TopOfPage Or Start here: http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/rules/
Okay, this rule strictly pertains only to courts of appeal - and only in California, but it bespeaks judicial recognition of our day in age. The judicial council knows the importance of an e-transcript. Every court reporter has an e transcript created by her stenograph machine ! Maybe her assistant has to correct some spelling. What do you think she prints the paper from? She prints it from an e transcript ! They also have the capability to take the “air” out of the transcript. The paper copy is a tremendous wasted of paper - and very annoying. I, also, can remove the air, but we are straying into logistical details here. The point is this: It takes only a few key strokes to send me an e-transcript by email. It actually is less and much quicker for the court reporter. She can eliminate the task of printing and mailing a paper transcript! We are in a modern age; lets act like it!. It is easier and cheaper for them to email me an e-copy! It requires no paper and no writing!
If the people in California have this right the so do I! Authority:
Article IV. Clause2: The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States.
Kansas Bill of Rights, § 20. Powers retained by people. This enumeration of rights shall not be construed to impair or deny others retained by the people; and all powers not herein delegated remain with the people.
And you may not abridge my right to a transcript:
Regarding abridgment: Privileges and Immunities Clause “No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.” - 14th amendment.
The state constitution and the 7th amendment guarantee my right to a jury trial.
My right to counsel of choice is guaranteed also. The Supreme Court ruled on this in 2006 in the case of U.S. v Gonzalez-Lopez 2005-352. Decided 2006. http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8345.html
Under U.S. Constitution IV, 2, I am entitled to Georgia, Illinois, and California rights.
Under the constitutional concept of “dual federalism” we are all beneficiaries of at least two constitutions, to wit: state and federal.
The federal constitution and the common law invest us with additional rights as follows:
I am entitled to utilize the constitutional concepts expressed in foreign constitutions.
All people in all states, including Washington, are entitled to the rights of Californians, except the right to vote in California state and local elections, which, or course, is reserved to California citizens. That is why I cite California law herein.
U.S. Constitution: Article IV, Section 2.: The citizens of each state shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of citizens in the several states.
The officer violated the Privileges and Immunities Clause of the 14th amendment which states:
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. - Privilege and Immunities Clause of the 14th amendment.
Application: Kansas Constitution contains no Due Process Clause - and yet I have a state constitutional right to due process.
Fountains of Liberty: Magna Charta, 1948 Universal Declaration of Human rights.
We struggle to “find” the law. Example: A lawyer need not change his bar license upon entering a sister state. Once he has passed his test he has proven himself. Compulsion to join the compulsory bar violates the compulsory association clause of the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human rights
“Article 20(2) No one may be compelled to belong to an association.” - Treaty. 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8213.html
Likewise a driver need not register himself at every state border. Neither should a statute require that I re-register my car upon residing in a state more than 60 days or whatever that state requires. Such a requirement violates so very many clauses in the various fountains of liberty. Example: To do so imposes an undue burden on interstate commerce. Both lawyers and drivers are subjected to ever tightening reigns of state governments. Governments by stealthy encroachment over the course of generations seek to fatten the corporate bureaucracies and extract greater percentages of the wealth of the citizenry which they view as their subjects. In the beginning we sought government to provide law and order - not to enslave and rule us. Consider the portentous words of “our” Illinois constitution. By terms of the U.S. constitution, we free people of every state are beneficiaries of the liberating clause of the constitutions of Illinois and California as well as our own. We have 51 fountains of liberty from which to drink:
Illinois Constitution. Section 1. Inherent and Inalienable Rights: All men are by nature free and independent and have certain inherent and inalienable rights among which are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. To secure these rights and the protection of property, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. - Illinois Bill of Rights.
There are 50 state constitutions. It is interesting to compare them and investigate their derivation. Consider the flowery language of the first paragraph of the California Constitution which is constantly under attack by Republicans shaming Lincoln and attempting to curtail our rights by, for example, limiting our own search prohibition so that it is no stronger than the 4th amendment. Here is that first flowery meaningless clause:
California constitution - same as Ohio constitution: Section 1. All people are by nature free and independent and have inalienable rights. Among these are enjoying and defending life and liberty, acquiring, possessing, and protecting property, and pursuing and obtaining safety, happiness, and privacy. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/const-toc.html
I am a beneficiary of the rights declared by the California constitution.
I was exercising my California defined Section 1 rights as a free and natural human when the police officer unconstitutionally violated my rights to enforce his institutional corporate prejudice against drivers. My remedy is dismissal. Do it.
“Our” Illinois constitution forbids unwarranted searches.
Illinois constitution. Section 6. Searches, Seizures, Privacy, and Interceptions: The people shall have the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers and other possessions against unreasonable searches, seizures, invasions of privacy or interceptions of communications by eavesdropping devices or other means. No warrant shall issue without probable cause, supported by affidavit particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or things to be seized.
I have addressed the search issue in a concurrent motion listed at another section in this brief.
The clerk and judge have usurped the prosecutorial function; that is wrong. Dismissal is the remedy.
This argument is based on the Due Process Clause of the U.S. constitution.
This argument is based on independent state grounds. The Illinois constitution makes it sound as though we created the government to serve us, not to govern us:
Illinois Constitution: Section 2.Due Process and Equal Protection. No person shall be deprived of life, liberty or property without due process of law nor be denied the equal protection of the laws.
By stealthy encroachment over the course of generations, all governments and other corporations encroach upon the personal freedoms of humans. The human lives only 75 years. The father fails to warn the grandchild of the lies of the corporation. The lie remains unchallenged generations later due to human ignorance and mortality. The immortality of the corporation gives the government opportunity to encroach as such a speed as to be imperceptible by a single generation of humans.
The summons was originally a document issued by a civil court only after the civil prosecutor had made a decision to prosecute. As the court corporations became fatter they ordered the litigants: “write our summonses and bring them to use for signature”. Their fellow government minions in the legislature wrote the corresponding rules.
Then the courts saw the money flow and realized that they should promote the traffic ticket game by processing the tickets without a prosecutor.
The court recognized the power it wields in criminal case. If they converted a civil action into a criminal action they could then change their posture to an inquisitorial posture. The inquisitorial nature is an unconstitutional nature. The Supreme Court discussed it in the Miranda case. Miranda V Arizona (1966) http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/miranda.html 384 U.S. 436, 86 S. Ct. 1602, 16 L. Ed. 2d 694, 10 ALR 3rd 974 and 59 other ALR treatises .
This is unconstitutional. The remedy is dismissal. Only a prosecutor can prosecute a criminal offense. This is not an administrative tribunal. If it were, there would be a hearing officer or administrative law judge.
In Miranda the court mentions the work “inquisition” or its variant many times. Today you ask each of us defendants to confess! You do this even though no prosecutor prosecutes us! In Miranda the court talks about “inquisitorial and manifestly unjust methods of interrogating accused persons.” It talks about “inquisitorial character.” It talks about “the right to refrain from answering any further inquiries.” It talks about “an unconstitutional inquisition . . .Lilburn. . . .the inquisitorial Court of Star Chamber. . [and] the inquisitorial system.” Six variation of the inquisitional theme are condemned in the Miranda opinion and yet this court goes blithely forth as thought this 1966 opinion had never been written.
The prosecution may or may not constitutionally be done without any prosecutor - depending on the actual facts of the case. People v Carlucci 1979 http://www.lawyerdude.8k.com/Carlucci.htm http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/carlucc.html People v Dragomir Feb 14, 2006 http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/Dragomir.html
A defendant may appear by motion - by paper.
I need not appear in person but may appear by written motion. I have not signed any agreement to appear. The police officer has no authority to issue such a command! The judicial branch may not delegate its authority to a member of the executive branch including an employee police officer. A warrant may only issue upon probable cause and it must be signed by a magistrate! Authority: 4th amendment and section 15 of the Kansas Bill of Rights:
§ 15. Search and seizure. The right of the people to be secure in their persons and property against unreasonable searches and seizures shall be inviolate; and no warrant shall issue but on probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, particularly describing the place to be searched and the persons or property to be seized.
The ticket is no kind of summons. To call it a summons is to redefine fundamental terms in the middle of the game. This denies me due process. Changing the terms is a common instrument of oppression. See the entire list of Modern Day Instruments of Oppression at:
http://www.lawyerdude.8k.com/5724.html
A sworn written complaint is fundamental to due process.
The Legislature may not give Police the Power to Summon and may not give Clerks the power to prosecute.
California Penal Code§ 740 states as follows:
Except as otherwise provided by law, all misdemeanors and infractions must be prosecuted by written complaint under oath subscribed by the complainant.
California PC § 949 states as follows:
The first pleading on the part of the people in a misdemeanor or infraction case is the complaint except as otherwise provided by law. - PC 949
All criminal law follows the ancient common law. The statute merely codifies and distills what is already the law.
Pleadings of Pro Se Litigants must be given some leeway
Pleadings of Pro Se litigants are entitled to some leeway. Haines v Kerner (1972) 404 U.S. 519 (1972) Http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/haines.html This ruling is consistent with statutes in nearly all jurisdictions. The law is not a trap for the unwary. For every wrong there is a remedy.

Brief Autobiography of Attorney Douglas Palaschak

This page is http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/bio33.html
I have enjoyed a charmed life. I grew up on the perfect farm. My brother Greg farms it now. I am an Engineering Graduate of the University of Illinois, Urbana, the best engineering school in the world, home of the mythical Hal 9000 of 2001, A Space Odyssey. There I was an honors student. I marched in The Marching Illini, the world’s undisputed Premiere Marching Band. I began my career as a Registered Professional Engineer having consulted for the U.S. Navy, Mobil, and Exxon. My expert testimony resolved a personal injury case where my calculations proved that a hydraulic accumulator could not contain sufficient oxygen for combustion to have overloaded the failed bolts. This proved
that the cause of the explosion was a failed hydraulic safety valve.
I conceived and designed subsea machinery for the U.S. Navy. I performed the buckling analysis for the riser tubes and contributed to the design of the giant seafloor template for a quarter mile tall oil rig presently in service in the North Sea.
I have been a licensed lawyer for nearly a quarter century. I passed the California bar exam in 1983. I have my J.D. from Ventura College of Law. I publish approximately 1200 legal articles on the internet. My areas of expertise are:
Licensure, Licenses, Rights, and Privileges, and their use as Instruments of Oppression;
Pre-trial Criminal Defense of Malum Prohibitum crimes;
Internet-driven Improvements in the Efficiency of Litigation;
Empowerment of Pro Se Litigants;
Bankruptcy.
My most recent book is on the subject of Pre-trial Criminal Litigation of Malum Prohibitum Crimes. It is available by mail order via the internet at the following link: http://www.lawyerdude.netfirms.com/8457.html
I enjoy playing “Clair De Lune” on piano. I found a mistake in the sheet music and Warner Brothers republished their Debussy book. Here is a link to their letter in that matter: http://lawyerdude.8m.com/Warnerletter.jpg I have appeared on The Love Connection, Hard Copy, and Inside Edition.
