The Rise of the Citizen Attorney.
The most important skill one can know when going to court is how to file a MOTION.
A Motion is a proper way of asking the court to do something. You can make an oral Motion or a written Motion. In court, you can talk all day long about how your rights were violated or how you think the (cop/atty/witness) is lying. It's all irrelevant and the Court will ignore your babbling (for the most part) unless you wrap your request in the form of a MOTION.
An oral motion would go as follows:
"You Honor, I MOVE the court to Dismiss the case … " and then you give TRUTHFUL reasons why the judge should grant your request ( Motion) .
You can MOVE the court to Order the Clerk of the Court to produce documents. You can MOVE the court to take a 10 min break. You can MOVE ( a proper way to make a request ) the Court/Judge to do just about anything. The Judge can say no but they can't ignore it.
When you make a Motion to MOVE the court, unless it's for something like taking a recess, your Motion is mobilized in the form of an ORDER. You make a Motion to MOVE the court to make an ORDER.
Written motions have 4 Basic Parts;
Capias - The top of the document that lists the parties and case number(s)
Motion - The written part where you ask for what you want , item by item, with the reasoning, and supporting cases for each item.
Certification - This is where you swear that you've sent a copy of the motion to the opposing party.
Order - This is where you write out the order that the Judge will actually sign and then deliver to the other party to do.
