 Know What the Law Says !
One of the biggest problems for pro se litigants is mis-reading the law.
If you don't know what the law "says", you cannot get a judge to agree with you.
Understanding statutory interpretation is essential.
Reading law can be confusing, especially statutes and code. Words must
be interpreted according to rules of statutory interpretation.
Learning the rules of statutory interpretation is vitally important to
you
... if you want to win.
You must know how courts interpret what Congress or your state legislature really meant when they wrote the law you're relying on to win your case!
Too many "assume" they are reading the law correctly (or make the
mistake of taking someone else's word for what the law really says).
Courts follow rules of statutory interpretation.
You need to learn these rules!
The paramount rule for interpreting statutes is that language used by
Congress or legislatures should be given its "plain meaning". Courts
should not play games with words. If a reasonable person would read
"bicycle" to mean a two-wheeled engine-less vehicle powered only by legs
and feet, judges should not be permitted to interpret that word to
include motorcycles.
Laws should say what they means and mean nothing more.
But, what if the meaning is not plain?
By the rule of ejusdem generis (Latin: "of the same type"),
judges should interpret general terms at the end of specific lists as
including only things of the same type as those specifically mentioned
in the list. For example, if a statute lists "oranges, grapefruit,
lemons, and other fruit", the doctrine of ejusdem generis limits the phrase "other fruit" to mean other citrus fruit.
Apples and pears are not included. Judges are allowed to assume the
law intends by "other fruit" to include all types of citrus, kumquats,
tangelos, limes ... but not pineapples or persimmons.
When the legislature lists items of similar kind and adds "and other", the doctrine of ejusdem generis limits the word "other" to include only items of the same type.
Simple enough?
Another rule of statutory interpretation is inclusio unius, exclusio alterius. Sounds
complicated, but it simply means that the inclusion of a specific term
should exclude (Latin: include one, exclude others). If a statute
specifically refers to lemons (and does not mention limes or
grapefruit or "other fruit"), courts should obey this rule and not
expand the legislative intent to include limes and grapefruit. It is
not the domain of our courts to expand what the legislature says
beyond what the legislature specifically says!

The best investment I ever made was your self-help law course.
My $250 investment gained me a $216,000 return! I sued my former
employer for violating my software copyright. I presented my case to
more than a few lawyers, but all turned me down. They were too
frightened to take on a 'big and powerful' corporation. After nearly
giving up, I found your course. Winning my case gave me confidence that
you are right. We can win, if the law is on our side, regardless of
how powerful our opponents may be. Our liberty really is in the law in
the first place. Your course gives the common man power he would not
otherwise have.
