课程名称:法律研究101:加州立法意图搜索 概述:什么是立法意图?为什么要搜索它?想象一下:您正陷入一起诉讼中,对方律师起草了一份让您看起来糟糕透顶的动议,而这完全基于一项单一的法律条文。如果您能够展示对方律师使用该法律条文的方式并不是立法机关所期望的,那该多好?通过这场课程,您将学习如何进行立法意图搜索,以了解立法机关作出某项立法决策的原因。 进行立法意图搜索有助于揭示州立法机关决定的背后原因。然而,涉及的文献数量众多,许多人不知道从何开始寻找这些文档。因此,我创建了这门课程。过去20年来,我一直教授如何在线进行加州立法意图搜索(主要使用免费的在线资源),帮助了数百人找寻加州立法材料,帮助他们在法庭上进行辩护。这些信息对法官、律师、法律助理和自主辩护者都产生了积极影响。 您可能会问:我不住在加州,为什么要学习关于加州材料的立法意图搜索?答案非常简单——这有助于您了解自己所在州可以获得的材料,以及在您的管辖范围内该从哪里开始查找。 赶快加入这门课程,开始您激动人心的立法意图搜索之旅吧!
What is Legislative Intent? Why bother searching for it?Picture it: you are embroiled in a lawsuit. The opposing lawyer drafts a motion that makes you look bad (I mean, really bad) and it's all based on a single statute. What if you could show that the way the opposing lawyer used the statute was not the way the legislature intended it to be used? What if the way the opposing lawyer interpreted the statute was way off and was, in fact, meant to confuse the trier of fact (i.e. the judge). That would certainly change things, right?The purpose of conducting (or, more to the point, how to conduct) a legislative intent search is to learn why the legislature did what it did. More specifically, A legislative intent search helps to show the "why" of what the state legislature did.Thing is, there are tons documents that show the "why" of legislation. The problem is that most people don't know where to start looking for those documents.It is for this reason that I created this class. In fact, I've been teaching how to conduct an online California Legislative Intent Search (using mostly free online resources) for about 2 decades. I've helped hundreds of people learn how to find California legislative materials to help them defend themselves in court from: judges and lawyers to law clerks and pro se litigants (i.e. people representing themselves) - all have benefited from the information contained in this course. Of course, don't take my word for it - take a look for yourself.Now, you may be saying: But I don't live in California? Why would I want to view a class about how to conduct a legislative intent search for California materials? The answer is simple - to help you know what materials are available in your state and what (and, often, where) you might start looking in your own jurisdiction(s).So, waste not a moment and start your adventure in the exciting world of Legislative Intent Searching.
