Description

This is the radical book and video course that the ABA, CBA, DOJ, DOS, DOD, DHS, FBI, CIA, ODNI, NSA, CSIA, and especially the USSC, do not want you to read. That’s right, they do not want people to read this book. The simple truth is that they prefer that the common citizen just limit their legal knowledge to what they see on television shows and fake news. They do not want regular folks to have access to their insider legalese. They see the systematic understanding of law as some sort of sacred philosophy available only to the privileged few. The juris doctor degree is coveted as the ticket to the club.

If more people understand how the system works, fewer people would be getting locked up. When fewer people are locked up, the penal system experiences cuts in spending. The government has a vested interest in locking people up. Without a steady flow of convictions, the penal system would suffer budget cuts. It costs $100,000 per year to incarcerate a single inmate, and the higher the number of inmates - the larger the budget. In a multi-billion dollar budget, as with all free-world, capitalist power structures, those at the top make the most money. At the top of the feeding chain in the penal system are judges and administrators.

It all comes down to simple economics, that is, supply and demand. The higher the demand, the higher the price, and visa versa, the lower the demand, the lower the price. Higher salaries are not justified when the demand for incarceration goes down. Therefore, an unspoken quota of new fish has to be brought in to maintain the status quo.

My book explains in down-to-earth terms the basic doctrines of law that all attorneys would be expected to be familiar with. Here’s a spoiler alert, there are really only about a dozen courses that are mandatory breadth requirements necessary to earn a juris doctor degree. Here’s another spoiler alert, only six subjects are actually tested on the bar exam. And after passing the bar? Attorneys, like physicians, tend to use their basic professional degree as a stepping stone to entering a specialty field.

Knowledge is the most powerful tool available to mankind. It's the divider of the classes, the kingmaker, and yet, an intangible commodity that can only be earned, personally. Once acquired it can never be taken away. Understanding law is understanding the workings of society. Understanding how the system works is key to playing the system. You wouldn’t spend serious money at the blackjack table if you didn’t know how to play blackjack. You have to know the system and how it’s played.

Every successful individual seeks to work the system to their own advantage. That, along with supply and demand, is part of the natural progression of a capitalist free-market society.

In order to advance to the highest level of social conscientiousness, in the business sense, it is necessary to understand how the legal system works. Trust me when I tell you, you do not need to be a genius to learn how to think like a lawyer. It is, however, necessary to learn how to organize and compartmentalize your thinking. That is what attorneys do, they organize their thinking into a structure, or plan, and use various tools to build the foundation for their structure. They have a toolbox of legal theories at their disposal, and they organize their thinking in a conventional format via a language of accepted doctrines and concepts.

Understanding the cryptic language and concepts of the American legal system is the key to being able to game the system to one’s advantage. This is why the ABA, CBA, DOJ, DOS, DOD, DHS, FBI, CIA, ODNI, NSA, CSIA, and especially the USSC do not want you to understand the American legal system and how to think in their terms.
