just because of you i have started paralegal classes just becuase im intrigued and i constantly keep getting screwed by people and i genuinely think that all people should know the law..

My judge, said in short that if I find him bleeding out, that because I did not give a tort notice against the police
He's going to have too let himself die, and that i cannot save him because i DIDNT tell police first.

Is my judge insane
I cant save his life because i didn't file a tort notice with the police department first,
But I did tell the State Attorney General

Is this the same process the defendant would have to follow if amending their answer?

I have a question sir, What if a person downloaded a copyrighted book that show how to be rich and the person that downloaded the book got rich and then the copyright owner of the book sue him a lawsuit do the infringer have to give all the money to the owner?. Thanks please answer my question.

As a paralegal thats new in the area of litigation - this was helpful 😁

Steve, you are like the Elvis Presley of law. Educational. Enjoyed it.

A timeline between each filing would be helpful, don't you think? For example, time to respond to an Amended pleading.

I accepted a plea deal while I was in jail. I sat my time fighting with my boyfriend, who was spending my money, from dealing with my sister handling my father's estate. One major reason we were fighting was that his cousin was the arresting officer from my case.
I had called 911 because of stalking and abuse and the police actually charged me and violated my civil rights and I became homeless. About two weeks after I became homeless his cousin started messaging me. The only reason I actually found out was because I got enraged listening to the evidence DVD where the cop was trying to get my ex-boyfriend to say I hurt him. he tries three times even going so far as to say "come on man you don't want to be punished for her actions" I got my paperwork to look at the officer's name wondering why he would have done that, and that's when I realized his cousin, who he vaguely mentioned was a cop, was the one from my case.
I also spent my jail stay waiting to have surgery, my fourth one on my rear end, and having mental episodes from sexual abuse. I did try to get help with that, but with something psychological like that what could they understand to even help with. Because of my past and my addiction anytime I bring it up they just write it off as paranoia.
6 months after I pleaded guilty and got released and had surgery, the emergency room removed a plastic cap from my body. it was about twice the size of a shampoo cap. It had been put there unbeknownst to me, during a sexual encounter. The case is still open and his cousin is listed in the report. I'm getting kicked out of Catholic Charities now and on probation and diagnosed with PTSD.
I've not had any income since December and have been getting denied stonewalled and recycled through all the government services and no Family center or domestic shelter will even let me in once they here the specifics of my situation. There's also a public Defenders husband and the son in law of a former police chief that have been involved, which is why nobody will go against that.
I know this got kind of long but I can't find a lawyer that wiill even give me advice. The police chief just retired due to sexual assault allegations, I have photos from my security cameras showing Intruders in my home. have copies of police reports although I called several times and I don't actually have a single report showing I was a victim of any type except for the one listed above. I have Social Services reports involving a safety plan against me. at the time I thought I was getting help getting my life back and getting settled again for me and my two kids. I didn't realize they were avoiding a ton ability and not acknowledging what it actually happened. The two social workers involved in my case do not even work for the county anymore.
I know I have probably about 12 different civil cases that are shoo-ins but this one was on expungement. I can't even get them to acknowledge I need services and now I have a drug felony from my abusive ex- boyfriend as he threw empty bags around after I informed him I had called the police. Any answer advice or referrals would be great I'm in Wisconsin thanks and keep up the good work

Hi Steve, can you please help me by discussing judgement on the pleadings?

[paulaspurrier]

I don’t understand how to respond to my transfer to federal court, I don’t care if it’s transferred but what do I respond? Do I ask for court date? Can’t find anything on agreeing
